Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders of the neck are becoming a major concern in industry. Several studies reported the association of neck pain, discomfort, and symptoms with different occupations in industry. Thus, the main objective of this study is to review and evaluate biomechanical techniques used in analyzing the occupational factors leading to neck pain and disorders. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.
