Assessment of Posture-Related Musculoskeletal Risk Levels in Painters Using Reba: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract: This cross-sectional study evaluated posture-related musculoskeletal risks among wall painters using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and assessed pain intensity using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). A total of 52 male painters aged 25-40 years were selected through a convenience sampling method. Demographic characteristics, work-related variables, REBA scores, and NPRS scores at rest and during activity were recorded. Descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test, and Spearman?s correlation were applied. Most participants demonstrated a medium to high postural risk levels. Pain intensity during activity was significantly higher than at rest (p
