Background: Parents often use baby walkers (BWs) as assistive devices to improve their infants' independent movement and motor skill acquisition. However, the literature suggests that conventional baby walkers (CBW) may cause delays in an infant's ability to walk independently and musculoskeletal burden on parents.
Objective: In the current study, a baby walker (RBW) with chest support was redesigned and ergonomically assessed during an infant-walking task.
Background: Activities performed by people in the meat processing industry are very repetitive, time-consuming, dangerous, and require long-term downtime during a shift (forced-static position).
Objectives: This study aims to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and working conditions among Polish and Iranian workers to fill this research gap.
Methods: A comparative analysis of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in developed and developing countries was conducted.
Background: It is generally agreed that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a severe health concern, particularly for agricultural laborers.
Objectives: The study aimed to identify risk factors and work-related disorders among agricultural workers at Amirkabir agro-industry company in Iran.
Method: A total of 158 workers, of which 66 were manual harvesting workers (four postures), 40 were fertilizer transportation workers (three postures), and 52 were spraying workers (one posture), were included in the study.
