一个问卷（“荷兰肌肉骨骼的工作量和相关的潜在危险的工作条件，以及肌肉骨骼的症状在工人人群的分析”，DMQ）的描述和它的质量进行了探讨，使用数据库的1575名工人在不同的职业谁完成了问卷。关于肌肉骨骼工作负荷和相关潜在危险工作条件的63个问题可分为7个指标（力、动态和静态负荷、重复负荷、气候因素、振动和人体工程学环境因素）。这些指数连同关于站立、坐姿、行走和不舒适姿势的四个独立问题，构成了对肌肉骨骼工作负荷和相关潜在危险工作条件的主要调查结果的简要概述。指标的均一性令人满意。不同的有效性的指数是公平的，当与一个指数的心理社会工作条件和不适，在暴露于体力负荷。具有不同肌肉骨骼负荷的工人群体可以根据指数和其他因素进行区分。关于同时有效性，似乎大多数指标和因素显示出与下背部和/或颈肩症状的显着关联。该问卷可作为职业卫生服务的一个简单而快速的清单，以确定工人群体，其中更彻底的人机工程学分析表明。
A questionnaire ('Dutch Musculoskeletal Questionnaire', DMQ) for the analysis of musculoskeletal workload and associated potential hazardous working conditions as well as musculoskeletal symptoms in worker populations is described and its qualities are explored using a database of 1575 workers in various occupations who completed the questionnaire. The 63 questions on musculoskeletal workload and associated potentially hazardous working conditions can be categorized into seven indices (force, dynamic and static load, repetitive load, climatic factors, vibration and ergonomic environmental factors). Together with four separate questions on standing, sitting, walking and uncomfortable postures, the indices constitute a brief overview of the main findings on musculoskeletal workload and associated potentially hazardous working conditions. Homogeneity of the indices is satisfactory. The divergent validity of the indices is fair when compared with an index of psychosocial working conditions and discomfort during exposure to physical loads. Worker groups with contrasting musculoskeletal loads can be differentiated on the basis of the indices and other factors. With respect to the concurrent validity, it appears that most indices and factors show significant associations with low back and/or neck-shoulder symptoms. This questionnaire can be used as a simple and quick inventory for occupational health services to identify worker groups in which a more thorough ergonomic analysis is indicated.
