Abstract

Background: Desk-work-related musculoskeletal pain is more prevalent among female workers than male workers. This may be contributed to by sex and/or gender differences in postural variability however, the mechanisms underpinning these differences are poorly understood. This review investigates whether desk-based postural variability studies investigate sex-gender differences and, how they explain the mechanisms behind these differences.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted with four databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus and ProQuest) searched in June and July 2023. Studies investigating postural variability among desk-based workers were included and a narrative approach used to synthesise results.

Results: 15 studies were included. Only four reported on sex-gender differences. None collected psychological or social information to explore reasons for sex-gender differences.

Conclusion: The mechanisms behind postural variability differences between sexes and genders are complex and multifactorial. Studies largely do not consider sex and gender and do not collect the information necessary to explain their results.

如何解释基于椅子和办公桌的姿势变化中的性别差异？范围综述。

背景：与工作台相关的肌肉骨骼疼痛在女工中比男工更常见。这可能是由于姿势变异性的性别和/或性别差异造成的，但人们对造成这些差异的机制却知之甚少。本综述调查了基于桌面的姿势变异性研究是否调查了性别差异，以及如何解释这些差异背后的机制：方法：2023 年 6 月至 7 月期间，我们在四个数据库（PubMed、Embase、Scopus 和 ProQuest）中进行了范围审查。结果：共纳入 15 项研究：结果：共纳入 15 项研究。只有四项研究报告了性别差异。没有一项研究收集了心理或社会信息来探讨性别差异的原因：结论：男女体位变化差异背后的机制是复杂的、多因素的。这些研究大多没有考虑性别因素，也没有收集必要的信息来解释其结果。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
