地毯编织是一个高风险的职业发展肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）。本研究的目的，这是在伊朗手工编织地毯行业进行的，是确定MSD症状的患病率，确定主要因素与MSD症状和工作站设计的指导方针的发展。1,439名随机挑选的织布工参与了这项研究。使用问卷调查来收集关于MSD症状的数据。结果显示，与伊朗一般人口相比，身体不同部位的症状患病率较高（颈部、背部和大关节，p < .0001）。多因素分析结果显示，与肌肉骨骼症状相关的主要工效学因素为织机类型、工作姿势、每日工作时间和座椅类型。在此基础上，提出了织造工作站设计的一般原则。原型测试表明，新的工作站是可以接受的主题测试，它改善了工作姿势。
Carpet weaving is a high risk occupation for developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The objectives of the present study, which was carried out in theIranian hand-woven carpet industry, were determination of the prevalence of MSD symptoms, identification of major factors associated with MSD symptoms and development of guidelines for workstation design. 1,439 randomly selected weavers participated in this study. A questionnaire was used to collect data on MSD symptoms. The results revealed that the prevalence rates for symptoms in different body regions were high as compared to the general Iranian population (for neck, back and large joints, p < .0001). The results of multivariate analyses showed that major ergonomic factors associated with musculoskeletal symptoms were loom type, working posture, daily working time and seat type. Based on the results, some general guidelines for designing weaving workstations were developed. A prototype test showed that the new workstation was acceptable for subject tests and that it improved working posture.
