What is a musculoskeletal disorder or MSD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MSDs, whose definition remains relatively vague, are a group of pathologies that lead to disability in both professional and private life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are caused by a progressive mismatch between the body's physical capacities and the body's ability to perform.hypersollicitation<\/mark><\/strong> to which it is exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paradoxically, a sedentary lifestyle plays a role in the onset of MSDs<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These disorders are expressed by pain, stiffness, joint heaviness and loss of strength. They will have a long-term ****impact, and can lead to disability and a loss of mobility<\/mark><\/strong> that lead to a deterioration in quality of life, repeated absences and de facto<\/em> the risk of job loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diversification of musculoskeletal disorders raises colossal issues in terms of public and occupational health. 22 million working days are lost due to MSDs and back pain. This represents 30% of sick leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the most common MSDs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MSDs are multifactorial and result from a chain of circumstances. However, they can be caused by a number of factors, professional activity<\/mark><\/strong> plays an established role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musculoskeletal disorders account for more than 90 % of occupational illnesses reported under the Sant\u00e9 Publique France<\/mark><\/a>. They are the 1st cause of compensated occupational illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, the upper-body joints most affected are the hands, from wrist to fingers (38%), shoulders (30%) and elbow (22%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the lower limbs, which are less affected than the upper limbs, it is the lower back (7%) and knee (2%) that are predominantly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
