Objective: This study aimed to explore the office risk factors linked to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) by developing an Office Ergonomic Risk Assessment (OFFERA) method. Methods: The development and evaluation of OFFERA method, divided into two stages which include the development of OFFERA system components and psychometric properties of OFFERA method. Results: In the reliability testings, observers showed strong agreement both between different observers (K = 0.62–0.78) and when the same observer repeated their measurements (K = 0.81–0.96). In the validity testings, the relationship between the final score of OFFERA and the musculoskeletal symptoms is statistically significant for the wrists/hands, lower back, knees, and ankle/leg. Conclusion: Tests have demonstrated that the OFFERA approach can be easily used across many different types of office work. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: algorithm pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
