Possibilities of ultrasonic diagnostics in sailors with suspected pathologies of the musculoscal system

Abstract

Workers at sea have high mortality, injuries and illnesses and work in a hazardous environment compared to ashore workers. Some of the most common illnesses among seafarers include disorders of the musculoskeletal system, various injuries and disabilities. It is possible to observe a connection between work at sea, time spent in fishing, and the frequency of shoulder girdle injuries, the culprit of the rotator cuff syndrome, and tunnel neuropathies. It agrees with this trival, monotonous insistence under the hour of victorization of working muscles, microtraumatization and microbleeding from the onset of scarring of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and, as before dock, the sound of natural anatomical tunnels.
