Influence of brick laying height on biomechanical load in masons: Cross-sectional field study with technical measurements

CONCLUSION: Based on technical measurements, bricklaying at hip height showed the best compromise between muscular load and degree of forward bending. This study contributes to the development of the work environment for masons and can help guide preventive initiatives to reduce physical workload.PMID:38517831 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230325
