The studied group comprised 63 seamstresses being employed in piece-work system, requiring great concentration of their attention and precision in producing the elements. That was accompanied by monotony and hypokinesis. The control group was made up of 22 women working in the same material-labour conditions, but in non-compulsory position. The analysis was performed by resorting to specially elaborated method of gynaecological examination elements of ergonomic studies and those of biomechanics. It has been shown that hypokinesis and piece-work claiming far advanced precision, as well as monotomy of the performed activity lead, in consequence, to congestion of organs in the small pelvis.
