Overview
Brief Summary
Comparing the prevalence and severity of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Indian housekeepers and corporate working women is the goal of this study. The research will look into the particular MSDs, risk factors, and how work-related factors affect these illnesses in both groups. The results will shed light on the particular difficulties that each group faces and guide the creation of focused interventions for the management and prevention of MSDs. The study intends to enhance the health of working women in both industries by tackling this important public health concern. Google forms and a demographic form are being used for this study; one is being used to gauge the degree of pain, and the other is being used to gauge various musculoskeletal disorders.
