*1.1. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD)*

One of the most common work diseases in Europe are musculoskeletal disorders. These appear in various areas of the body, the most common developing in the back and upper extremities [1].

Among the causes that stand out for their appearance are the physical (manual, forced or frequently repeated movements, harmful postures and vibrations, etc.) and those relating to work organisation (high work rate, schedule, routine work, etc.) [2].

This type of disorder has numerous consequences for the affected worker, but also for businesses and countries (at the economic level) [3].

To prevent this occupational disease, it is necessary to identify all the risk factors that occur during work. Once determined, preventive measures should be taken to avert them, or actions taken to reduce them [2]. Some authors propose measures such as rotating workers between different jobs [4], providing ergonomic training to workers [5], designing ergonomic tools for MSD analysis in the workplace [6], redesigning work equipment from the ergonomic perspective [7], etc.
