Significance and prediction value of the corpo-cranio-graphics (CCG) for occupational health care when work is done under risk of a fall from height

Status:

completed 06/2004

Aims:

Standardized occupational health care for workers with risk of fall from height contains CCG to reveal disturbance of equilibrium only as "recommended". A definite decision is required.

Activities/Methods:

Exploitation of 1.500 CCGs, made over 8 years.

Results:

It can be concluded from the study, that in the future a Stepping Test procedure with a recording of the test results should be applied regularly for G-41. This, however, then must be guided and supported by special instruction courses for the occupational medical staff, investigating persons according to G-41, who are in danger to suffer from falling hazards. Also the more modern version of the CCG, i.e. the ultrasound computer CCG should be introduced.
