Article Synopsis
- The study examined the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among workers who use visual display units (VDUs) for over 20 hours a week, focusing on the cervical spine and upper limbs.
- A total of 2022 VDU workers (1125 males and 897 females) underwent clinical assessments to identify any symptoms or diseases related to their work.
- Results indicated a low prevalence of upper limb work-related MSDs, with 1.9% in males and 5.8% in females, and no significant link between VDU use and these disorders, although a correlation was noted between cervical issues and computer use specifically in females.
