ABSTRACT
In recent decades, there have been profound changes in the working conditions, which are associated with the economic globalization and the technological innovation (Uva et al., 2008). These changes show visible consequences on the workers’ health, as well as in their productivity (Meerding et al., 2005). Among those consequences, WorkRelated Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD) have become the most common form of occupational diseases worldwide, either in developed countries or in developing countries (Mody & Brooks, 2012).
