(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-10-27) Bravo Leyva, Gianella Fabiola; Arrieta Córdova, Andy Freud
Low back pain is one of the most common ailments worldwide, and studies indicate that most people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime. This issue is often overlooked, potentially causing long-term damage. Furthermore, people are often unaware of ergonomics. In the workplace, several factors need to be considered when performing tasks; failure to do so may lead to ergonomic risk factors, which are workplace conditions that identify physical and psychological injuries resulting from job demands, increasing the likelihood of damage. Studies indicate that 97% of low back pain cases affect administrative staff, who spend long hours seated, putting additional strain on the spine. They may also suffer musculoskeletal injuries in other areas of the body, which in some cases can lead to work incapacity.
