Ergonomic interventions to improve musculoskeletal disorders among vehicle assembly workers: a one-year longitudinal study.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) constitute a significant challenge in the realm of occupational health, especially in the manufacturing sector, necessitating the development of efficacious intervention strategies to enhance musculoskeletal health and reduce the incidence of MSDs. The present study is designed to assess the efficacy of a comprehensive ergonomic intervention, specifically tailored to diminish ergonomic risk factors and the prevalence of MSDs among workers engaged in vehicle assembly line operations.

Method: This interventional study, conducted over a one-year period, was implemented among assembly line workers within a rail bound vehicle manufacturing shop.
