"Little was known about the effectiveness of organizational or psychosocial work interventions to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). We found moderate evidence of the effectiveness of supplementary rest breaks. We also identify key elements of ergonomic interventions lacking in the interventions reviewed that, if integrated into future studies and shown to be effective, may lead to advances in MSD prevention."
