This review examines innovative technology-driven strategies for preventing musculoskeletal disorders in workplaces. It aims to identify effective interventions using digital solutions.
Conducted a structured narrative review across five major databases (2015-2024)
Synthesized findings from 74 eligible studies focusing on technological applications for MSD prevention
Categorized innovations into wearable technologies, AI and machine learning, VR/AR, ergonomic furniture, smart workstations, and human-robot collaboration.
Wearable and AI-driven systems reduced biomechanical load by 12%-85% and high-risk postures by up to 35%
VR/AR applications increased hazard recognition by over 40%
Adaptive furniture and smart workstations reduced spinal load and fatigue by 20%-30% while collaborative robotics lowered muscular workload by about 35%-40%.
