Body #discomfort and #pain are common signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (#MSD). A new CRE-MSD position paper (https://t.co/3uDURGBZ9i) written by Dr. Viggiani breaks down the key differences between #AcutePain and #ChronicPain.

[CRE-MSD @CRE_MSD]

Looking for an easier way to collect #pain or #discomfort scores? The Electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS) iPad App (https://t.co/VZ6Ld3cNP0) allows researchers and workplaces to digitally track participants’ feedback through visual analog scores using slider channels.
