Perceived muscular tension, job strain, physical exposure, and associations with neck pain among VDU users; a prospective cohort study

Abstract

Perceived muscular tension was associated with an increased risk of developing neck pain among VDU users. The combination of high job strain and high perceived muscular tension was associated with higher risk of developing neck pain than the combination of high physical exposure and high perceived muscular tension. There was an indication of an excess risk due to interaction between high physical exposure and high job strain.
