This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in players of a variety of traditional Korean classical instruments: gayageum, geomungo, ajaeng, and haegeum. A large percentage of these musicians suffer from musculoskeletal pain of various body parts. However, there has been no research regarding the extent of musculoskeletal disorders in players of these instruments. Through a focus group interview, a questionnaire was developed to investigate musculoskeletal disorders. The questionnaire consisted of four parts: demographic factors, performance factors, musculoskeletal disorder symptoms, and musculoskeletal disorder experiences. Eighty-six expert players participated in this survey. The data from the survey were analyzed by correlation analysis and chi-squared analysis. Musculoskeletal disorders symptoms and severe pain were reported in the neck, shoulder, back and knee. These problems were statistically related to height for players of the gayageum and geomungo. In addition, the musculoskeletal disorder experience of geomungo players was correlated with age and career length. The symptoms of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in traditional Korean music players were reported as being mostly observed in the neck, shoulder, back, and knee. In addition, these symptoms were related to various demographic factors such as age, height, career length, and hobby styles. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for developing guidelines to prevent traditional Korean musical instrument players from developing musculoskeletal injuries.

BACKGROUND: There are many risk factors that result in musculoskeletal disorders because of work. This also occurs in the instant food industry, where apart from manual load handling and repetitive work, the production process can also results in risks. AIM: The aims of this study are to predict the musculoskeletal disorders in the next 50 years and the effectiveness of scenarios for controlling musculoskeletal disorders. METHODS: This study employed Research and Development method through a dynamics system approach. This research was conducted in one of the industries that produce instant food in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The data obtained was based on interviews, which were further analyzed using Interpretative Structural Modeling. RESULTS: Based on the simulation results for 30 years, it was found that there was an increase in the average musculoskeletal disorder incidence by 20.63% per year. At the end of the simulation in 2050, the number of musculoskeletal disorder incidents became 48481.69. In this case, the simulation for 30 years (2020–2050) was conducted on a model of controlling occupational diseases at an instant noodle company in Makassar by providing treatment in the form of reducing risk factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders. Based on the simulation results for 30 years (2020–2050), musculoskeletal disorders have the most significant contribution to the increase of occupational diseases incidents as a whole. The increase in musculoskeletal disorders is an accumulation of several risk factors that exist in the instant noodle production process. CONCLUSIONS: Prediction of the musculoskeletal disorder incidence using a dynamic system approach for 30 years (2020–2050) has increased by an average of 20.63% per year. The behavior of the model after receiving treatment on the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders has an average decrease in the average incidence of 51.11% per year. In this case, to control the musculoskeletal disorder incidence, the elements or variables controlled simultaneously are work posture, lifting load, and length of work.

Full textAbstract:
Domestic musculoskeletal disorders have been on the rise since the 1997 IMF crisis, as rapid changes in work environments and practices, such as mechanization, automation, and specialization, have been implemented by various companies to enhance productivity. Furthermore, with increasing awareness and concern among workers, the government has been conducting harmful factor and causal investigations related to musculoskeletal disorders caused by burdensome work tasks through the amendment of Article 39 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act since 2003.
To ensure the proactive prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and minimize work-related losses for workers' safety, there is a continuous need for systematic and comprehensive research. To address this, the present study conducted a trend analysis to explore new perspectives for preventing industrial accidents.
The literature collection comprised a total of 653 domestic theses and academic papers from 2003 to 2022 that included the keyword 'musculoskeletal disorder,' gathered through search engines such as the Korean Citation Index (KCI) and the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS). The data were categorized into two periods: the first period from 2003 to 2012 and the second period from 2013 to 2022. Text mining was employed to analyze the frequency (TF) and network connections, which were subsequently visualized.
The results revealed that the top keywords in work-related musculoskeletal disorder research throughout the entire period (2003 to 2022) were 'work,' 'musculoskeletal disorder,' and 'symptoms,' consistently recognized as essential research topics in both the first and second periods. In the first period, the most frequently discussed factors influencing workers' musculoskeletal disorders included 'posture,' 'physical condition,' 'environment,' 'job stress,' 'time,' 'age,' and the term 'survey' was prominent among the top keywords. In the second period, keywords like 'comparison,' 'development,' 'measurement,' 'method,' and 'investigation' emerged.
N-Gram analysis indicated that the simultaneous occurrence of the 'musculoskeletal disorder-symptoms' keyword was the most frequent throughout the entire period, followed by high frequencies of 'musculoskeletal disorder,' 'pain,' 'awareness,' and 'burden.' In the first period, body part-related keywords like 'hand-wrist,' 'shoulder-back,' 'wrist-finger,' and 'back-leg' were prominent. In the second period, keywords such as 'workload,' 'safety-health,' 'factor-investigation,' 'risk-assessment,' and 'occupational accident-insurance' were observed.
This study attempted the first analysis of theses and academic papers on work-related musculoskeletal disorders using text mining, a big data analysis method. The findings contribute to suggesting future research directions on work-related musculoskeletal disorders, holding significant implications for the field.

Background: Modern defence system has a significant role of electrical, electronic and instrument technicians in armed forces. Despite their intensive role, little is known about work-related musculoskeletal disorder in these technicians.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of the work-related musculoskeletal disorder in defence personnel involved in electrical and electronic maintenance and repairs.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out for 3 years, in Electrical, telecom and instrument defence technicians (N = 164). Prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Effect of age, working hours, work experience, Basal metabolic index and type of job on the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder was investigated using logistic regression analysis.
Results: A total of 119 (72.56%) respondents reported work-related musculoskeletal disorder with 53.04% multiples & 19.51% single work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Simultaneous presence of neck, shoulder and upper back work-related musculoskeletal disorder were observed. Highest rate of work-related musculoskeletal disorder was in neck (44.44%), followed by shoulder (27.16%), ankle/ foot (14.81%), elbow/ forearm (12.96%), low back (11.72%) and wrist/ finger (9.87%). Neck (44%) related work-related musculoskeletal disorder were highest across all job crafts. Work experience (p = 0.012; OR = 0.87; 95% CI – 0.78- 0.97), working hours (p = 0.031; OR= 1.73, 95% CI – 0.58-5.12) smoking (p = 0.00 ; OR = 5.3, 95 % CI = 4.3 – 8.48) and job crafts like electrician (p = 0.434; OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.08-3.31) and telecom mechanics (p = 0.026; OR = 1.26, 95% CI =0.74 – 2.15) were significantly associated as risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorder.
Conclusion: High prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder was observed in electrical, telecommunication & instrument mechanics, with higher multiple work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Working hours, work experience, job craft and smoking were highly associated with a work-related musculoskeletal disorder. We suggest suitable ergonomic intervention and awareness program along with smoking control drive to reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorder.

Introduction: Ergonomics in ophthalmology is neither taught during professional training nor does it readily receive consideration or priority in clinical practice. Owing to a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among ophthalmologists, ergonomic awareness, and practices are vital in averting this modern epidemic. Objective: To assess the ergonomic practices and prevalence of self-reported musculoskeletal disorders among ophthalmologists in India. Method: An online survey was conducted among ophthalmologists who were registered with the All India Ophthalmological Society of India using a pre-tested and validated questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of self-reported musculoskeletal disorder in the 377 participants was 75.3% (284; 95% confidence interval: 70.6–79.5). Low back pain (149, 52.9%) was the most commonly reported symptom. Musculoskeletal disorder–attributed productivity loss was reported by 58.45% (166) of the respondents. Musculoskeletal disorder was most frequently associated with less than 10 years of work experience (odds ratio: 1.2; 95% confidence interval: 1.1–1.3, p = 0.01) and lack of good clinic (odds ratio: 1.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.1–2.7, p = 0.03) and operation room ergonomic practices (odds ratio: 1.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.1–2.9, p = 0.03). Only 27.9% (105) of the respondents had accessed information related to ergonomics in ophthalmic practice. Conclusion: The self-reported musculoskeletal disorder among ophthalmologists in India is quite high and significant enough to cause some degree of productivity loss. It is thus imperative to emphasize the implementation of good ergonomic practices, especially among relatively young ophthalmologists.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are considered a growing problem among healthcare personnel, especially service workers. The emergency room (ER) service workers are highly exposed to work-related risk factors which predispose them to MSDs. A cross-sectional study was performed on 78 ER workers. Full medical and occupational histories were taken. The Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ) was used for the assessment of musculoskeletal symptoms. Clinical examination was done with special emphasis on the locomotors system, and serum levels of muscle enzymes, including creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MM), were measured. The study aims to detect the prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among ER workers at University hospitals, and assessment of CK-MM as a biomarker used in the early detection of MSDs. We found that 71.8% of the participants were complaining of musculoskeletal disorder in the last 7 days before the study, while only 34.6% were complaining of musculoskeletal disorder in the last 12 months before the study. The knee joint was the most commonly affected site in the past 7 days, by 39.7%. On the other hand, the highest prevalent disorder in the last 12 months was for the ankle joint (17.9%) with significantly high levels of serum CK-MM. In conclusion, musculoskeletal injuries are a common complaint among healthcare occupations, especially among ER service workers that need regular health education and ergonomic training programs. Monitoring of serum CK-MM level with cut-off value 90 ng\ml could be used as a novel approach for the early detection of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Working culture and ergonomics of any individual plays an important role in the physical and mental health of the person. The study about male street hawkers and the ergonomics assessment which carries hawkers’ musculoskeletal condition along with physical condition are combined and their impact is widespread. They are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability affecting the psychosocial status of affected people as well as their families and caretakers. In all occupations, incorrect body posture is the most important cause of musculoskeletal disorders. The study was aimed to examine 40 random street hawkers and their working posture using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. It was analyzed that around 70 % of hawkers had a medium to high risk of developing work related musculoskeletal disorder. Trunk, upper arm and lower arm postures were mainly contributing to the REBA score, putting street hawkers at high risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder. Ergonomic intervention to reduce musculoskeletal disorders includes engineering improvements which include rearranging, modifying, redesigning equipments which eliminates and reduces the hazard due to improper body posture and long working hour cycles. Mechanization of the stalls to reduce the musculoskeletal strain is possible. In areas, where mechanization is not possible, ergonomically correct measures to avoid musculoskeletal disorders are to be taken.

This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among intensive care nurses in the Hunan Province of China. Nurses working in mixed intensive care units of 20 tertiary hospitals in this province participated in an online survey regarding work-related musculoskeletal injuries. The seven-part questionnaire included basic demographics; job and workplace characteristics; risk perception; physical, psychosocial, and workplace organizational factors; and musculoskeletal symptoms. The response rate was 70.7% (702 of 993 nurses). Approximately 97% of the respondents reported experiencing at least one work-related musculoskeletal disorder within the previous year. Low back pain was the most commonly reported musculoskeletal disorder (80.1%), followed by neck (78.6%) and shoulder pain (70.4%). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that work-related musculoskeletal disorders were significantly associated with female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 0.115), unmarried status (OR = 0.136), a greater perception of risk (OR = 2.352), and lack of a safe work environment (OR = 1.056). These findings underscore the need for nurses and managers to reinforce risk awareness, improve physical and psychosocial working conditions, and promote a safer work environment.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to quantify how musculoskeletal disorder exposure risk changes in an auto assembly task as a function of car body rotation. Twelve subjects participated in the study. There were three car body angles including 1) zero or standard, 2) forty-five degrees and 3) ninety degrees from horizontal. Musculoskeletal exposure included spine loads, spine posture, shoulder posture, neck posture and wrist posture, as well as normalized electromyography of the shoulder and neck. The results showed that musculoskeletal disorder exposure risk decreased as the car was rotated to forty-five degrees and further decreased as the car was rotated to ninety degrees. Thus, rotating the car body reduces musculoskeletal exposure which in turn may reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. It should be noted that the results may vary with other assembly tasks.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to define the different levels of psychological distress in patients suffering from pain and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Methods This investigation was conducted as a retrospective study of 60 patients randomly selected of a German specialized orthopaedic hospital within the year 2016, whose therapeutic approaches are based on a non-surgical orthopaedic multimodal approach of manual therapy. All patients were suffering from pain and functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Two groups were formed: one without and one with additional mental disorders according to ICD-10. The impairment score (ISS) according to Schepank was determined. Results The somatic sub score of the ISS was the highest sub score in both patient groups. The cumulative value of the ISS score of patients with both a mental disorder and pain in the musculoskeletal system was higher than for patients without concomitant mental disorder. For patients without concomitant mental disorder, the cumulative ISS exceeded the test criteria for mentally healthy individuals. Conclusions Patients without mental disorder but with chronic pain of the locomotoric system receive a psychological pain management program, as it is part of the billing code OPS 8-977 to the health insurance companies in Germany. However, the data show that these patients also have a substantial somatic subscore and a cumulative ISS above the level of healthy individuals. The absence of psychological disorders (according to ICD-10) in patients with pain of the musculoskeletal system should not lead to the assumption that these patients are psychologically inconspicuous. Subsyndromal mental findings (below ICD-10) can be one aspect of a mental disorder presenting with primarily somatic symptoms. In this case, patients would benefit from a psychotherapeutic program in a similar way as the patients with mental disorders according to ICD-10.

Context: Since learning guitar and playing it requires repetitive use of muscles, very often with poor posture, guitarists are at an increased risk of nerve or musculoskeletal damage. As playing is the work of musicians, playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) are an appropriate music-specific derivative of work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Since learning guitar and playing it requires repetitive use of muscles, very often with poor posture, guitarists are at an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorder. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of playing related musculoskeletal disorder among non-professional guitar players. Methodology: it was a cross-sectional study done on non-professional guitar players in the age group of 18-30 years. Modified Nordic Questionnaire was used to screen for the symptoms and a self prepared validated questionnaire was used to take the details of playing related activities. Statistical analysis: Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The neck and lower back were reported to be most affected with symptoms of pain (29% each) among the selected population, followed by the wrist (17%) and shoulder (15.5%). The main contributing factor was found to be awkward sitting posture and non-use of back support while sitting.

In Indonesia, there is a tendency for the emergence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in school-aged children. MSDs can cause disruption of daily activities, such as lost school time. Individual factors such as sex can be the cause of MSDs. This study aims to determine how much gender differences affect the risk of musculoskeletal disorder. The design of this research was analytic observative with cross-sectional approach. The population is all high school students in the Kec. Kramat Jati East Jakarta as many as 4,708 students. The research sample was 370 class XI students. Samples were taken by simple random sampling. The independent variable is gender while the dependent variable is MSDs. Retrieval of data by filling out the Nordic Body Map questionnaire. Data were processed univariately and bivariately with chi-square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between sex and musculoskeletal disorder. The value of p = 0,000 with a PR value = 1,131 and 95% CI = 1,051 - 1,217 which shows that female are more at risk 1,131 times having musculoskeletal disorder compared to male.

Background: Injury to the musculoskeletal system or the human body's ability to move is known as a musculoskeletal disorder (i.e. muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs, blood vessels, etc.). Firefighting is a physically hard and dangerous job. Firefighters carry out emergencies and prevent fire and respond to disaster. Workers who deal with fireworks often have musculoskeletal disorders. Aim: To investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk factors among firefighters. Methodology: Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to report musculoskeletal disorders in 106 firefighters and quick exposure check (QEC) questionnaire was used in 20 firefighters for 3 different tasks to evaluate the ergonomic risk factors. Results: Firefighters experienced low back pain as major pain in last 12 months followed by shoulder and neck pain. Low back pain along with knee pain caused trouble in working in last 12 months. While pain in last 7 days were low back pain followed by knee and upper back pain. Task of lifting ladders on shoulder was the major ergonomic risk factor for developing musculoskeletal disorders as compared to holding up hose and folding the hose task. Conclusion: High prevalence was shown in low back, knees, neck and shoulder. Lifting up ladders on shoulder task leads to ergonomic risk for development of musculoskeletal disorders. Keywords: Firefighters, musculoskeletal disorders, ergonomic risk factors, QEC (quick exposure check), Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire.

Introduction:Laboratory is a means of improving the effectiveness of learning. The problem faced by laboratory staff in performing their work (analysis and experimentation) is fatigue caused by long work time with inappropriate sitting posture and position. The use of a wooden chair without a backrest and with a seat height that is too high or too low can cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aims to provide a workstation design suggestion with attention to ergonomics to reduce complaints of musculoskeletal disorders. Method: This descriptive research used an observational method. The population in this research consisted of 31 female students of a feed laboratory user, and the sample consisted of 16 respondents at the SIKIA Laboratory. Data collection for this study was conducted from July to September 2022. The independent variable in this study was the dimension of the workstation, and the dependent variable was musculoskeletal complaints. Result: Anthropometric measurements on laboratory assistants of the SIKIA Laboratory showed that the average popliteal height was 53.25 cm. Assessment on musculoskeletal disorder complaints shows that most complaints are found on “Pain in the back” with a score of 36. A new chair and table design is proposed, where the width of the seat back is 39.75 cm. Conclusion: A new workstation design is proposed that focuses on ergonomics to reduce the complaints of musculoskeletal disorders.
