Musculoskeletal disorders, Asthenopia and associated risk factors in computer workers of Hingna Taluka of Nagpur: A cross sectional study
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
It’s cross sectional study to examine various work station factors of computer operators with musculoskeletal and visual discomfort for better understanding the impact of computer on general population with taluka background. Associations between variables were tested for their significance using Chi square test with each leading complaints independently at 5% significance with R programming language. Significant association found between neck symptoms, age and distance of screen, similarly asthenopic symptoms was found to be associated with eye distance and glare of screen. Thus in conclusion we found almost similar prevalence of asthenopia and musculoskeletal disorders in studied population, which makes it essential for concerned authorities to take a note and develop recommendations in office ergonomic designing to enhance work performance by minimizing musculoskeletal and visual discomfort. Keywords: Computer operators, Computer vision Syndrome, WMSD, Asthenopia, Tehsil, Musculoskeletal disorder, and Painful eyes.
