Which physical load factor is NOT considered important in the etiology of WMSDs?

  1. Light office work

  2. Repetitive or prolonged duration of motion

  3. Static or awkward postures

  4. Forceful motions

The correct answer is: Light office work

While all of these factors can contribute to the development of WMSDs, light office work is not typically considered a significant risk factor. Compared to the other options, it involves less physical strain and stress on the body. Repetitive or prolonged duration of motion, static or awkward postures, and forceful motions can all put strain on different parts of the body and increase the risk of developing WMSDs.
