through a microscope, 61.5% reported neck symptoms,
56.4% reported hand and wrist symptoms, and 42.3%
reported lower back symptoms (Kalavar & Hunting, 1996).
In a more recent study, a survey of 244 cytotechnologists
revealed that 85% experienced musculoskeletal symptoms
and approximately one-third reported neurological symptoms,
such as numbness and tingling of fingers (Thompson,
Mason, & Dukes, 2003).
