Ergonomic Intervention Practice at the Workplace in Asian boundary: A systematic review

Abstract

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are considered occupational diseases that can cause extreme discomfort and impairment. Due to the high prevalence of WRMSDs in Asia, ergonomic intervention has become particularly important and received growing interest among scholars. This review aims to classify ergonomic intervention practices for better musculoskeletal health at workplaces in Asian countries. PRISMA was chosen to review 22 recently published ergonomic intervention studies obtained from the Scopus and WoS databases. The findings revealed three main approaches for ergonomic intervention: application of devices or tools (seven articles), administrative approach (seven articles), and a combination of both (eight articles).
