  • Title: VDT work duration and musculoskeletal discomfort.
    Author: Fahrbach PA, Chapman LJ.
    Journal: AAOHN J; 1990 Jan; 38(1):32-6. PubMed ID: 2136998.
    Abstract:
    Musculoskeletal discomfort, work position, and job stress factors were compared in government office workers grouped according to whether they used video display terminals more or less than 4 hours per day. The results of this study suggest that limits on VDT use to less than 4 hours per day do not necessarily protect against health problems. The occupational health nurse's role in preventive measures useful for alleviating the musculoskeletal health problems of office work are discussed.
