Risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among professional drivers in Asian countries: a systematic review

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries in the musculoskeletal system caused by sustained or sudden exposure to repetitive motion, vibration, force, and awkward positions. Professional drivers are one of the working populations with a high risk of developing MSDs. Several studies had exami...
