Description
Summary:The musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) pose a problem of knowledge and a problem of efficiency of their prevention. From our experiment, we ques­tion biomechanics of movement from the psychological analysis of real activity.The concept of gesture is redefined in order to support the assumption that hypersolicitation of organism results from hyposolicitation of activity. Based on the work of Bernstein, we propose a psychological analysis model of movement postulating that movement, gesture and automatism are three aspects of the same psychophysiological reality. This model allows us to explore the development of the realizable gesture.We find that the variety of the situations and the development of the repe­titions beyond of them self-allow the workers to find adequate answers to the motor problems posed by their activity. On the opposite, the impeded development locks up the gesture in identical repetitions, engaging the subjects towards pathogenic compulsive activities. The underdevelopment of the repetitions plunges its roots in the professional activity underdeve­lopment. The prevention of the MSD should depend on the history of the repetitions by multiplying the gestural experiments and confrontations with the others possible gestures, one’s own gestures and those from the others in the collective of work.
