Abstract

Investigation of ergonomic risk : Introductionof Turkish Version Rapid Upper Limb Assesstments The purpose of this study was to assess thevalidity and reliability of Turkish version of theRapid Upper Limb Assessment and introduce tothe occupational health team members. The form was translated using a back –translation technique, which includes the use of a panelof experts. After the review of consultants, thefinal form was applied on a randomized semple of93 female garment workers for content validityand predictive validity . For form’s reliability wasdone independent interrater correlation. Psychometric testing demonstrated satisfactory contentand predictive validity of the form. It can be usedin assessment and prevention of ergonomic risks
