What are the risk factors for the development of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)?
- Exerting excessive force; excessive repetition of movements;
- Awkward postures or unsupported positions;
- Static postures or positions that a worker must hold for long periods of time;
- Compression which can concentrate force on small areas of the body;
- Inadequate recovery time due to overtime, lack of breaks, and failure to vary tasks;
- Excessive vibration, usually from vibrating tools/drills, which can decrease blood flow, damage nerves, and contribute to muscle fatigue.1
Why should dental professionals care about ergonomics?
The prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among dentist and dental hygienists can range from 64-93%, with chronic hand and wrist pain prevalence at 40-75 %. 3,4,5
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among dental practitioners are cited as the main reason for early retirement.6
