Introduction[edit | edit source]
"Work-Related Musculoskeletal DisorderS (WRMSDs) include sprains, strains, tears, edema, fractures, compression, malalignment, disc herniation, and excessive, repetitive movements that provocate the musculoskeletal, connective, or neural tissue reactions (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome) as a result of stressful lifting, bending, climbing, crawling, reaching, twisting, pushing, pulling, poor postural alignment, psychological stress, overexertion, or repetition." [1]Nancy et al 2016
WRMSDs, (also known as work-related repetitive stress (overuse) injuries), historically account for a notable proportion of work injuries and workers’ compensation claims in Western industrialised countries since the late 1980s. The eidence is still conflicting regarding the extent to which work is a causal factor in the development of such disorders. However, new epidemiological studies have improved methods of differentiating between the contributions of workplace and non-workplace risk factors in the development and severity of WRMSDs.[1]
