Key Points

To review the work-related causes of musculoskeletal disorders and evaluate systems-based ergonomic approaches for primary prevention in occupational environments.
Synthesized findings across multiple domain reviews addressing physical risk factor assessment methods, psychosocial influences, and participatory ergonomics.
Evaluated the application of ergonomic principles specifically within computer technology work environments.
Identified systematic physical exposure measurement and psychosocial job factors as essential targets for understanding occupational injury risk.
Showed that participatory ergonomics—actively engaging workers in hazard identification and solution development—provides strong evidence-based support for preventing musculoskeletal disorders.
