Abstract

This new tool, comprising both a guide and a questionnaire, is designed to guide users through all the steps related to the study of workers’ musculoskeletal health: from planning the project to administering the questionnaire to interpreting the results. This technical guide will help people evaluate the extent of the problem, identify the anatomical locations and workers most affected, and determine the additional analyses needed and the preventive measures to adopt. However, it cannot help pinpoint the causes of the problem. Inexpensive, easy to use and adaptable specific target goals, this questionnaire is the French version, adapted to the Quebec context, of a Scandinavian document commonly known as the Scandinavian. The guide and questionnaire will help users obtain an updated overview of musculoskeletal disorders in companies.
