Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common worldwide, affecting the productivity, workability, and quality of life of workers from several economic sectors and countries. The multidetermined nature of MSDs is a challenge for researchers and professionals since risk factors require different approaches. Evidence-based strategies to control and prevent MSDs are desirable and necessary to guide physiotherapists and ergonomist practice. Moreover, implementation processes and research agendas are also needed. This Special Issue of IJERPH will focus on “Physiotherapy and Ergonomics to Control and Prevent MSDs”. Investigators from these areas are kindly invited to contribute for this Special Issue.
