“…Various components of biomechanical exposure at the workplace play a prominent role in the onset and aggravation of musculoskeletal disorders. Recent publications in the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health have addressed physical risk factors for specific musculoskeletal disorders (2,3), and subsequent consequences for productivity loss at work (4,5), sickness absence (6), and disability (7). Despite this knowledge, however, it is still difficult to quantify the exact levels of biomechanical exposure at which an increase in the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders occurs.…”

“…Also studying workers who use screens, Lapointe et al [209] investigated the interaction between the awkward posture and the MSD symptoms of the neck, shoulders, back, and upper members. Similar MSD were appreciated by Malinska and Bugajska [210] together with head pain.…”

Sustainability seeks to provide economically viable products in an environmentally friendly way while respecting worker rights. Physical wellbeing forms part of these rights. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) diminish productivity, cause absence from work, impose costs on the public health system and can cast doubt on the sustainability of a company or a product. The objective of the present work is to review the literature on the application of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) on a worldwide level. In this work, the use of the NMQ has been classified by categories of knowledge, countries and years. The search was made using "Web of Science-Core Collection". In total, 259 articles were chosen from scientific journals and conferences related, according to the title and or abstract, to the practical application of the questionnaire. In conclusion, the NMQ has been applied mainly in three sectors: "activities related to treating human health and social issues", "manufacturing industries", and "agriculture, livestock, fishing, and forestry". The NMQ is an indirect method commonly used individually or complemented with other methods for evaluating the MSD and possible associated psychosocial and labour risks. The use of NMQ can help in the evaluation of the sustainability of a company.

“…They can lead to a variety of problems, such as physical discomfort (dry eyes or rising heart rates) [2], psychological discomfort (anxiety or frustration), and financial losses cause by increased error rates [3][4][5]. Methods such as analyzing EEG, eye signals, or ECG, could be used to evaluate user fatigue, but these methods are not effective for daily testing [6,7].…”

Abstract. In this paper, participants operated visual display terminals (VDT); the authors analyzed their pulse wave signals to develop objective indices for diagnosing and assessing VDT-induced. The experiment used 30 healthy undergraduates test subjects; each subject operated static PC for 4 hours. The pulse waves of local blood volumes in the test subjects' finger-tips were measured every 30 minutes for 2 minutes. After the experiment, the pulse wave parameters were analyzed. All test subjects exhibited signs of visual fatigue according to the fatigue scale results. There were significant differences of heart rate (HR), which clearly declined before and after the experiment (P<0.01). The indexes RMSSD, SDNN, P3, P4, P5, P6, and TP had significant differences (P<0.01) and all rose. The positions of the main and dicrotic waves advanced (P<0.01). The experiment parameters prompted significant changes; pulse wave forms changed during VDT work. Based on these results, pulse wave analysis holds promise as an effective, noninvasive technique for measuring VDT fatigue.
