Abstract

Background and Aim: Frequent and repeated hits from fast vessels to passengers can adversely affect the musculoskeletal system and eventually cause acute and chronic lesions. In the present study, we investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and its related factors in the staff of navy fast vessels.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the statistical population consisted of 100 employees working on high speed vessels. Standard Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaires were completed for all of them and all were examined by a physician for musculoskeletal status. For those who needed additional diagnostic examinations, they were evaluated by imaging techniques (radiology, CT scans, MRIs) and nerve graphs.
Results: The mean age of 100 employees in navy fast vessels was 31.4±4.5 years, BMI: 25, duration of exercise per week: 40 hours, duration of employment in vessels: 8 years and duration of skeletal problems: 2 years. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the lumbar region was 57%, knee 47%, back 34%, neck 30%, shoulder 30%, thigh and hip 28%, hand and wrist 18%, ankle 16%, elbow 7%. There was a direct and significant relationship between the type of vessel and duration of work on the vessel and the age of staff with musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, back, waist, and knee.
Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the staff of navy fast vessels and its relation to the type and duration of work on the vessel, it is suggested to modify the type of seats, modify the position of staff in the vessels, and regular exercise to prevent the development of musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Flying boats are aerodynamic marine vessels that fly at low altitude. Physical damage from maritime missions in variable climatic conditions and in normal or operational conditions can cause mechanical and vibrational damage due to flight shocks. The aim of this study was to investigate the ergonomics of flying boats in accordance with the physical and physiological conditions of pilots in south of Iran.
Methods: In a pilot study, 6 pilots employed in flying boats in Bandar Abbas were surveyed. Physical (musculoskeletal, auditory, visual, skin) and mental (fear and anxiety) problems associated with working in a flying boat were documented by a specialist physician. A field visit was conducted on the ergonomic aspects of the various components of the flying boat and a semi-structured interview was carried out with the pilots.
Results: The mean age of 6 flying boat pilots was 24.8±6.2 years. All pilots suffered from musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, back pain and hearing loss. All the pilots were in a state of anxiety during the flight or landing. Shocks and vibrations due to ups and downs, annoying sound of the flying boat engine over the pilot's head, lack of cooling system and lack of proper clothing, lack of ergonomic principles in seat and cabin design, inadequate training of the pilots were recorded during field visits and pilot interviews.
Conclusion: Pilots employed in flying boats are at risk of physical and psychological injury due to inadequate ergonomic factors of these boats as well as unsuitable seat and inadequate training. All of the pilots in this study suffered from these injuries. By taking these into account in the redesign of this flying boat and adequate training of the pilots to maintain their health, performance levels can also be improved.
