Occupational mechanical exposures as risk factor for chronic low-back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusions Moderate evidence of an association was found for lifting/carrying loads, non-neutral postures, and combined mechanical exposures. Low or very low evidence was found for whole-body vibrations, standing/walking, and sitting. Studies using standardized exposure definition, metric, and technical measurements are highly warranted. by Jahn A, Andersen JH, Christiansen DH, Seidler A, Dalbøge A. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4112
