Multi-Modality Detection Methods for Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSD)

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a group of painful disorders of muscles, tendons, and nerves. Through constant and repetitive motion workers could end up sustaining injuries and developing painful symptoms, while carrying out work related activities. More notably, increased muscle...
