Cornell University''''s Human Factors and Ergonomic Research Laboratory carefully studied the role that EHAWS play in musculoskeletal discomfort and productivity in the work environment. According to this and other cited studies:
Results show significant decreases in the severity of musculoskeletal discomfort for most upper body regions.
