These exposures can result in increased rates of musculoskeletal disorders and cumulative trauma disorders. [14] Specific risk factors include physical activities (pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying), bending and reaching for loads, twisting the body, and other high-intensity and energy-exerting tasks.
In terms of selective muscle weakness or poor flexibility muscular imbalance is frequently regarded as an etiological factor in the onset of musculoskeletal disorders. [2] There are a variety of areas that can be affected, each causing different symptoms hence there are also different treatments available, but in general cases muscle ...
The transportation and warehousing industries have the highest incidence rate of musculoskeletal disorders, with an incidence rate of 89.9 cases per 10,000 full-time workers. [37] Healthcare , manufacturing , agriculture , wholesale trade, retail , and recreation industries all have incidence rates above 35 per 10,000 full-time workers. [ 37 ]
The best-known clinical subtypes are enteropathic arthritis (EA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and reactive arthritis (ReA). [2] Spondyloarthritis typically presents with inflammatory back pain and asymmetrical arthritis , primarily affecting the lower limbs, and enthesitis , inflammation at bone-adhering ligaments ...
[2] [8] Continuous exercise or movement of a musculoskeletal injury can result in chronic inflammation with progression to permanent damage or disability. [9] In many cases, during the healing period after a musculoskeletal injury, a period in which the healing area will be completely immobile, a cast-induced muscle atrophy can occur.
[2] [9] Although, for acute back pain exercises usually not recommended and physical activity should be slow, but it is critical to keep moving as much as possible, because inactivity leads to weakening back muscles and ligaments, and to gain more weight, which might exacerbate back pain. [2] [10] Sit Up Straight! The way you sit may either ...
Physical therapy for piriformis syndrome follows general rehabilitation principles for musculoskeletal conditions. [50] The goals of physical therapy are to reduce piriformis muscle tightness, improve spine/hip/pelvis mobility, and restore normal biomechanics to the spine/hip/pelvis.
Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength and increased risk of fractures, is a major concern in bone health, particularly among older adults. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Maintaining good bone health involves a combination of adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding risk factors ...
