The risks for musculoskeletal symptoms of the neck, shoulder, upper and lower back among professional drivers of all-terrain vehicles (ATV) are studied. Data from 215 male drivers of forest machines, 137 drivers of snowmobiles, 79 drivers of snowgrommers and 167 men randomly selected from the general population to act as control group were collected from northern counties in Sweden. The results show that musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck, shoulder and upper back are 2 to 3 times more prevalent among professional drivers of ATVs compared to a control group not using ATVs at work. Prevalence is similar among all ATV drivers categories.
