The woman's body undergoes many physiological changes during pregnancy, which can cause muscle weakness and postpartum joint instability. In addition, the intensive care of the baby sometimes involves extreme body postures and mechanical loading on the hands, which are considered as ergonomic risk factors. Therefore, postpartum women may be particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). As far as we know, there is no evidence-based intervention on this issue.
