| Abstract |
Results of this questionnaire and medical study: cash register operators complained of fatigue, headache, insomnia and low-back pain, and pain in the upper limb. 31% had muscle rigidity or tenderness, some severely enough to affect their employment. Improvement in working conditions reduced the number of cervicobrachial disorders. |
