(2014) In Work: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation 47(3). p.329-337- Abstract
- The static posture of postal workers when sorting mail can lead to musculoskeletal discomfort. Research has shown a connection between eyestrain and upper-body musculoskeletal discomfort in general, including postal workers. A previous study of postal workers found that most of those with eye strain were in need of a new correction in their existing spectacles.
