Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze trends for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) from 1996 to 2020 in Korea and to investigate characteristics of WMSDs, including WMSD approval rates, distribution by WMSD names, and the effects of industry type and size, and workers’ age and gender on WMSD occurrence. The data included those obtained from the official yearbooks for industrial accidents published by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and those obtained personally from the Korea Workers’ Compensation & Welfare Service.

Abstract Background and Purpose. Knowledge, skills, relationships, and attitudes of caring and working hard are all thought to be valued by physical therapists. This article explores how physical therapists see themselves, in light of some of these values, when they experience work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The article also explores the ways in which these values may compete with each other, and it suggests how this may contribute to the onset of WMSDs and to therapists' behavior following a WMSD.

Abstract:
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the influence of gender/sex on the risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Previous research has indicated a link between female gender/sex and increased WMSD risk, but findings have been inconsistent due to varying study designs and high null result rates. This study synthesized adjusted odds ratios (AORs) from 93 high-quality cross-sectional studies that examine WMSD risk while controlling for various confounding factors such as job exposure and environmental variables. The overall synthesized AOR for female gender/

Abstract:
A large number of studies show that awkward postures and repetitive hand and wrist movements contribute to the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). To effectively prevent these problems, there is a need for precise and quantitative knowledge about the relation between exposure and effect. In most epidemiological studies of disorders of the upper limbs, information about exposure is too limited or imprecise. Moreover, the exposure often involves several dimensions, and therefore it is necessary to use reliable methods to obtain trustworthy risk estimates. Therefore, th

Abstract:
The aviation maintenance mechanic faces a multitude of occupational hazards each day due to the complex nature of the work they perform on aircrafts. The most common problem reported by aviation maintenance mechanics was work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Studies have shown that aviation maintenance mechanics suffer WMSDs, most often affecting the back, head, neck and lower extremities. The objective of this study is to assess the risk of WMSDs and propose innovative engineering control of ergonomic hazards associated with aviation maintenance work in a local aviation maintenance

Abstract:
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent in industrial settings, particularly affecting the lower back, shoulders, and knees. Exoskeletons show promise in reducing WMSDs, though their effectiveness varies by user demographics. This study investigates the impact of a passive back-support exoskeleton on perceived physical exertion (PPE) during lifting and carrying tasks, with a focus on gender-specific responses. Twenty-two participants rated their PPE under two conditions: with and without the exoskeleton. Results indicate that exoskeleton use significantly reduces perceived

Abstract:
Background: Oil palm Dodos workers manually harvest the palm fresh fruit which can cause work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDS). Holistic self-care by combining stretching exercises and breathing techniques is believed to be able to overcome work related skeletal muscle disorders. The study aimed to conduct a systematic review of research articles identifying the effectiveness of holistic self-care in overcoming work-related skeletal muscle disorders in Riau palm Dodos workers, and identifying the frequency of implementing holistic self-care. Subject and Method: A systematic review was
