Physiological and psychological mechanisms in musculoskeletal disorders
Previous research at CBF has shown that the more the eye's focusing muscle is strained to compensate for a blurred image, the higher the muscle tension in the neck and shoulder muscles.
Current research interest
I am since October 2009 a PhD student at CBF, enrolled at the Department of Medical Sciences in Uppsala. The preliminary title of the thesis is "The association between sustained accommodative/vergence loads, eyestrain and pain in neck and shoulder region".
The aim of the thesis is to experimentally investigate the relationship between the degree of load on the visual system and its effect on muscle activity in the neck/shoulder muscles. The work is based on the hypothesis that two-way communication applies, i.e. that strain on the visual system can affect muscle activity in the neck and shoulder muscles, as well as that musculoskeletal strain in the neck-shoulder region can affect the visual system.
