Summary

This study tests whether adding a structured exercise program to standard ergonomics training can reduce work-related pain and improve quality of life in female dairy farmers. Sixty women who have been farming for at least 5 years will be split into two groups: one gets only ergonomics training, the other gets both ergonomics and a 12-week exercise program. Researchers will measure pain, arm and shoulder function, depression, and overall well-being.
