Upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare personnel / Vincenzo Occhionero, Leena Korpinen, Fabriziomaria Gobba

Sumario: Published studies support the hypothesis of a significant risk of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare activities. The neck was the most frequently affected segment in dentists, the hand/wrist in dental hygienists and in laboratory technicians, and the neck and shoulders in nurses. Lower prevalence was reported in physiotherapists. A high prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome was also observed in various healthcare activities.
