Stooped postures can cause low back disorders, such as muscle strain or a disc herniation (“slipped disc”), which is bulging of disc material possibly pressing on the spinal cord or nerves that go into the leg.  The door decker can help reduce lifting and carrying and stooped postures by allowing workers to stand in an upright position while painting doors.
 

Overhead work can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as shoulder muscle strains; tendonitis, which is inflammation of the tendons; or rotator cuff tears, which is a rupture of a shoulder tendon.  The door decker can help reduce overhead work by providing workers with a station to paint doors horizontally below shoulder height.
 

Stressful hand and wrist activity can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as muscle strains; tendonitis, which is inflammation of elbow and wrist tendons; or carpal tunnel syndrome, which is compression of a wrist nerve, resulting in finger numbness and loss of hand strength.  The door decker can help reduce stressful hand and wrist activity by giving workers a place to grip doors that keeps the hands and wrists in more neutral positions. 

The use of a grip system such as the door decker reduces time spent in stooped postures to paint an entire door. The grip also decreases time spent in stressful hand and wrist positions when moving doors.
