What Is a Musculoskeletal Injury?
Work-related muscular skeletal disorders (WMSD) are often used to broadly refer to a series of disorders caused by many professional activities that are characterized by repetitive movements, long working hours, or forced posture, such as Back pain, arm vibration symptoms, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

- It is generally believed that the static load and repetitive movement of local muscles are the basic factors that cause musculoskeletal injuries. Among them, repetitive operation is a major risk factor. In recent decades, occupational-related chronic musculoskeletal disorders have become increasingly prominent, affecting more than half of the occupational population. It is reported abroad that this disease occupies the second place in the occurrence of occupational diseases, second only to occupational skin diseases. Approximately 19 million people are threatened by OMD in the United States each year; Federal Germany accounts for 15% to 22% of the total number of days of absence due to industrial disease each year; Sweden pays up to $ 2.4 billion in insurance compensation for OMD each year; The direct and indirect economic losses caused by the disease amounted to US $ 99.6 billion. Domestic research reports that the rate of occupational chronic musculoskeletal diseases in mechanical workers in China has reached 64%. The serious harm of OMD has gradually attracted widespread attention from governments and health research institutions in developed economies. The WHO has identified 2000 to 2010 as the "Decade of Bone and Joint Diseases". The purpose is to increase the awareness and understanding of musculoskeletal diseases by relevant government agencies in various countries, encourage domestic and international research, and ultimately improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, how to identify and evaluate the independent or combined effects of various risk factors on disease and disability is an important task for occupational health workers.
