It defines MSDs as conditions affecting the nerves, tendons, muscles, and skeletal structures, potentially resulting from or exacerbated by workplace factors. The content details common ILO-listed disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, epicondylitis, and various forms of bursitis and tenosynovitis. Additionally, it highlights physical risk factors associated with occupational environments, referencing European working conditions surveys to underscore the impact of physical stress on different demographics and industry sectors. The information serves as a critical resource for understanding work-related musculoskeletal health risks and the systemic nature of these disorders.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/musculoskeletal-disorders-occupational-health-overview/640652/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/musculoskeletal-disorders-occupational-health-overview/640652.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"gewufjwa","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-06","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What
