Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project investigates the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal disorders among office workers. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace, particularly among individuals who spend prolonged periods sitting at desks, has become a significant concern for both employees and employers. The aim of this study is to explore how posture influences the development of musculoskeletal disorders in office workers and to identify potential interventions to mitigate these risks. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the background of the study and the problem statement. The objectives of the study are outlined, along with the limitations and scope of the research. The significance of the study is discussed, emphasizing the importance of understanding the impact of posture on musculoskeletal health in the workplace. The chapter concludes with an overview of the structure of the research and definitions of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review, examining existing research on posture, musculoskeletal disorders, and their relationship in office settings. The review covers various factors that contribute to poor posture and musculoskeletal issues, as well as potential ergonomic interventions to improve workplace health and safety. Chapter Three details the research methodology, including the study design, participants, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and potential limitations of the research methodology. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal disorders among office workers. The chapter discusses key trends and patterns identified in the data, as well as any significant associations between posture and musculoskeletal health. Chapter Five provides a conclusion and summary of the research project, highlighting the key findings and their implications for workplace health and safety. Recommendations for future research and practical interventions to promote better posture and reduce musculoskeletal disorders among office workers are also discussed. Overall, this research project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal disorders in office settings. By identifying the factors that influence posture and musculoskeletal health, this study aims to inform evidence-based interventions to promote a healthier and more ergonomic work environment for office workers.
