Objective
Neuromuscular (NM) problems reduce working ability of aging workers, and increase cases of work loss and accidents. For this reason, elderly people throughout Europe are forced into early retirement and fail to be self-supporting. There is a need to identify and monitor work related NM disorders in order to
a) reduce their consequences by monitoring the most vulnerable individuals,
b) identify the determents of NM aging related to occupational conditions and
c) evaluate methodologies for warning elderly workers when there is insufficient relaxation in vulnerable muscles. Preliminary results show the possibility of identification of NM problems through non-invasive techniques, recently developed within the SENIAM and PROCID Concerted Actions, which can provide quantitative indices of NM performance. Substantial field tests and training initiatives are required to demonstrate that these techniques
a) can be used outside the research labs and may have a European market in the fields of ergonomics and occupational health and
b) can be routinely used to monitor the relationship between occupational and NM system conditions in the working environment Standardization of mythology is needed.
