Abstract

Background and Purpose: A review to investigate whether there are effective workplace interventions that manage chronic musculoskeletal disorders.Methods: The literature search included published articles between 2008 and 2017. The databases used in this search were MEDLINE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, AMED, PsycINFO, Academic Search Complete, Cochrane and PEDro. A limited search on websites for relevant Grey literature was also conducted.Results: The review included 12 studies that investigated effectiveness of a specific strength exercise program or interventions provided by health professionals at the workplace when compared to controls or interventions not at the workplace. Discussion: Workplace interventions such as high intensity strength exercises and/or integrated health care can decrease pain and symptoms for employees who experience long-term musculoskeletal disorders. However, the current research is limited.
