Liu, Zhihui (author), Wang, Li (author), Kong, Fanlei (author), Huang, Xia (author), Tang, Zhi (author), He, Shi (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Many occupations require workers to stand for prolonged periods, which can cause discomfort, pain and even injures. Some supermarkets in life provide a foot pad for checkout staff to let them stand on it at work, thereby reducing standing fatigue caused by standing for a long time. The inclined platform is the same as the foot pad...journal article 2021
