DOI: 10.1080/00140139.2022.2026490
Abstract: Abstract Previous biomechanics studies suggest that higher cognitive mental workload when performing office computer tasks may increase the risk of MSDs among office workers. Cognitive workload can be interpreted in terms of task factors (e.g.… read more here.
