Work-related musculoskeletal symptom disorders (WMSDs) have a significant issue for dental professionals. This study investigated the effects of high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on work-related pain, fatigue, and the active range of motion in dental professionals. Among recruited 47 dental professionals with WMSDs, 24 subjects received high-frequency TENS (the T...

conclusions consistent reductions were observed for all wmsds disorders at the ninth month of the follow-up. it can be inferred that the use of practical and low-cost methods of engineering and administrative interventions together and monitoring the proper implementation of these interventions during a long time may achieve desired results in reducing musculoskeletal disorders in small scale a...

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) may involve all parts of the body, and have been a worldwide problem. Employed women are two to five times more likely to report such problems, and assembly lines suspected to induce more WMSDs because of high rate of repetitive motions. Methods: The aim of this study to determine the prevalence of WMSDs in women workers of an automobi...

The objective of this video is to identify at-risk postures in vaginal surgery that may lead work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) and demonstrate corrective exercises prevent future pain. Vaginal surgeons report high rates WMSDs, yet little education exists on WMSD prevention specific population. In video, we five key problematic WMSDs. These include forward head posture, increased tho...

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are among the most common occupational problems facing surgical technologists in the operating room, which could be associated with high costs and a reduction in the healthcare quality.
