Beyond Equipment:What Drives Desk-Related Pain?
Presented at the Occupational health conference 2026
- A cross-sectional analysis of 23,414 workplace assessments
- Better workplace scores, lower pain ρ = -0.314, p < 0.001
- Desk pain is shaped by how people work, not just what equipment they have.
- Behavioural factors, especially chair adjustment, wrist positioning and movement habits, showed stronger links with pain than equipment setup alone.
