简要总结
There is a need to raise awareness on occupational health and safety issues among goldsmith workers across the country and suggest safety methods to protect them. The aim of the study is to assess the current working condition and to suggest the low-cost ergonomic means to improve occupational health and work performance through work tool development possibilities. The hand strength may vary significantly according to occupation so the purpose of this study is to understand the demand level of hand use for the benefit of hand rehabilitation. The objective of this study is to identify and prevent or reduce the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal problem in goldsmith workers by providing early ergonomic intervention by assessing the pinch strength and to rule out the improvement of pinch strength and hand performance after the exercise program.
