Abstract

Among computer operators, risk factors associated with work-related musculo-skeletal disorders, include the integration of biomechanical factors, work environment and issues related to the working organisation, as well as those associated with the psychosocial aspects of work. With more and more jobs available in software industry today, it is all the more important to be aware of the problems and follow necessary preventive steps to check the progression of computer related health problems. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) such as neck and low back pain have been widely reported as being of significant health and economic concern due to increased globalisation and industrial advancements. The debilitating effects of MSD are widely acknowledged by researchers in the medical field as well as in the engineering field. This research has provided empirical result to establish the curative along with preventive effects of physiotherapy in combating MSD present in today's Indian software industry.
