Psychosocial risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
other
It has been known for some time that risk factors in the workplace can have a negative effect on health. Ramazzini was one of the first scientists to identify occupational health hazards. He wrote about diseases of the musculoskeletal system caused by sudden and irregular movements and the adoption of awkward postures. Another category of work-related risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) includes psychosocial work characteristics, such as work demands, job control and social support at work. In earlier studies, these factors were considered as potential confounders when exploring the relationship between physical exposure and symptoms. More recently psychosocial factors are considered to be independent risk factors.
