Wow yes. So many older and retired workers from the skilled trades could benefit from this.

It would also be a huge boon for recruitment as I imagine young people considering the career may be discouraged by the physical demands of the job and their potential lasting effects.

Arthritis is not limited to trade workers, anyone can have it.

And it isn't the only health issue physical work can cause.
