81. Package Delivered: Ergonomic Intervention for Delivery Drivers
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionWhile the initial focus was on low back pain and implementing a lumbar support system to combat this issue in delivery drivers, our findings indicate that several areas essential to completing the job (e.g., knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows) all showed improvement with added lumbar support.
While the initial focus was on low back pain and implementing a lumbar support system to combat this issue in delivery drivers, our findings discovered more musculoskeletal disorders than solely low back pain seemed to have been improved by the supplemental lumbar support. Areas essential to completing their jobs all showed improvement with added lumbar support.
Limitations of the current project included the lack of a control condition, as well as the case study nature. Future research should include a field study using a pre- vs. post- design with a control condition, along with an adequate sample size to conduct statistical analysis.
