Contact:
Enhanced analysis of the German Spine Study (EPILIFT) aiming at deriving appropriate threshold values, part D: study centre Essen
Project-Nr. FF-FB0155D
Status:
ongoing 02/2009
Aims:
As a principle result of the EPILIFT study, the risk for the development of lumbar disc diseases is elevated even when physical workload is below the threshold values of the Mainz Dortmund Dosis Model (MDD). The aim of the present study is to provide a basis for an evidence-based discussion of the legal definition of the German occupational disease No. 2108 and for the derivation of a practicable procedure for the assessment of physical workload via appropriate threshold values.
Activities/Methods:
In an in-depth analysis of the original EPILIFT study, the following parameters are changed separately:
part 1) daily dose, lumbar-disc compressive force, degree of forward bending
part 2) furthermore, the fit of simplified procedures is analyzed, that are applicable in practice
