A group of patients with occupational disease and female sewing-machine operators were medically examined with a broad set of biochemical techniques aimed at the detection of metabolic disorders in the locomotor system tissues. Noninflammatory dystrophic changes were found. The muscular component was dominating in comparison with the osseous one in the genesis of the degenerative dystrophic processes, which manifested in the clinical course. Laboratory manifestations were revealed related to the lowered energy supply and oxygenation of the skeleton muscles in patients with neuromuscular and osteo-muscular++ syndromes. The metabolic disorders were diagnosed at the early stages of myalgia.
