Paper Abstract:
|
Occupational disorders have not only an effect on mortality worldwide but also a significant impact on the workers' quality of life, in terms of organizational productivity and insurance costs. In specific, work-related musculoskeletal disorders are the most prevalent among office-workers whose occupational exposure presupposes the frequent adoption of maintained postures. Given that there is a close relationship between the state of health of the worker and the human movement system, the monitorization of risk factors associated with the human movement, i.e. of the motor variability in office-workers, has been suggested to prevent or mitigate musculoskeletal complaints. This paper presents a literature review of the existing methodologies and tools that explore the motor variability in office-workers in a sitting position based on linear and nonlinear measures and emphasizes their potential importance in understanding human movement to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. |
