Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Desk workers experience more musculoskeletal pain, potentially due to sex and gender differences in postural variability. However, studies rarely investigate these differences or their underlying mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Ergonomics
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Desk-based work is linked to higher musculoskeletal pain in female workers compared to male workers.
  • Sex and/or gender differences in postural variability may contribute to this disparity.
  • The underlying mechanisms driving these sex-gender differences in postural variability are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on desk-based postural variability studies.
  • To determine if these studies investigate sex-gender differences.
  • To analyze how these studies explain the mechanisms behind any observed sex-gender differences.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was performed using four major databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and ProQuest.
Keywords:

  • Searches were conducted in June and July 2023.
  • Studies focusing on postural variability in desk-based workers were included, with results synthesized using a narrative approach.

    • Main Results:

    • Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria.
    • Only four of the included studies reported on sex-gender differences.
    • No studies collected psychological or social data to explain observed sex-gender differences.

    Conclusions:

    • The mechanisms contributing to sex-gender differences in postural variability are complex and multifactorial.
    • Current research predominantly overlooks sex and gender considerations.
    • Studies lack the necessary data collection to elucidate the reasons behind postural variability differences.
