“…This is particularly in the lower limb muscles (leg and thighs), lower back and feet [8]. In addition, constrained standing work conditions such as prolonged standing work or static working posture may also cause the formation of leg edema due to muscle fatigue and discomfort [6,11,12].…”

“…However in prolonged standing cases (static standing with minimal movement), this working posture results in occupational injuries [2]. The literature [1,3,6,7,8,9,10] showed that prolonged standing leads to physiological discomfort, muscle fatigue, pain and could also contribute to the development of severe health hazards such as Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) with special focus on regions such as the back, leg and foot of the operator. It was documented that if preventive actions are not taken once physiological discomfort is experienced as a result of prolonged standing (for example at the neck and shoulder regions of the upper extremities), the human operators would also have the tendency to later suffer from discomfort and fatigue in the lower extremities as well [8].…”

“…Soft mat generally reduces worker perceived discomfort during prolonged standing in comparison with those human operators standing on a hard floor; and prolonged standing on a mat was always more comfortable than standing on the hard floor whether barefooted or wearing shoes [6].

“…With regards to prolonged standing exposure, ergonomic interventions were widely used to handle standing fatigue as well as to improve human operator's health. Among the most common ergonomics interventions being utilized with respect to prolonged standing were varying the floor conditions such as installing anti-fatigue mat and using shoe in-soles [6,7,8,12].…”

Abstract. Standing is one of the most preferred working postures in the manufacturing field as it provides a large degree of physical freedom and mobility to the human operators. In addition, the cognitive perceptions of the increase in work effectiveness and productivity rate among the human operators are the reasons this working posture is practiced. However, to stand erect for a long period of time or otherwise known as Prolonged Standing often leads to physiological discomfort, fatigue and even health issues such as Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The aim of this paper is to review on the effects resulting from Prolonged Standing and disseminates the information on the ergonomic interventions to relieve standing fatigue. Selected journals and research papers related to Prolonged Standing were reviewed and the findings showed that varying the floor conditions such as installing anti-fatigue mat and using shoes with soles would help in relieving discomfort associated with the cumulative effects of Prolonged Standing. Nevertheless, further research is needed to truly quantify the effectiveness of these suggested ergonomics interventions in real world implementations such as in the manufacturing industry.

As community efforts to reduce the overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted and unowned cats and dogs have increased, many veterinarians have increasingly focused their clinical efforts on the provision of spay-neuter services. Because of the wide range of geographic and demographic needs, a wide variety of spay-neuter programs have been developed to increase delivery of services to targeted populations of animals, including stationary and mobile clinics, MASHstyle operations, shelter services, community cat programs, and services provided through private practitioners. In an effort to promote consistent, high-quality care across the broad range of these programs, the Association of Shelter Veterinarians convened a task force of veterinarians to develop veterinary medical care guidelines for spay-neuter programs. These guidelines consist of recommendations for general patient care and clinical procedures, preoperative care, anesthetic management, surgical procedures, postoperative care, and operations management. They were based on current principles of anesthesiology, critical care medicine, infection control, and surgical practice, as determined from published evidence and expert opinion. They represent acceptable practices that are attainable in spay-neuter programs regardless of location, facility, or type of program. The Association of Shelter Veterinarians envisions that these guidelines will be used by the profession to maintain consistent veterinary medical care in all settings where spay-neuter services are provided and to promote these services as a means of reducing sheltering and euthanasia of cats and dogs.
