Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals key risk factors for knee osteoarthritis in pedicab operators, indicating urgent occupational health needs.

Key Points

  • About 51.7% of pedicab operators are at risk for knee osteoarthritis due to work posture and footwear.

  • Almost 69% of participants had a work posture categorized as moderate risk, indicating a need for intervention.
  • This biomechanical assessment highlights the importance of targeted occupational health policies to improve worker well-being.
