The symposium will review the most recent knowledge about the role of work-related and individual factors in MSDs. It will discuss hypothesis-driven approaches to biological mechanisms and risk factors MSDs may share with other major chronic diseases.
Emphasis will be placed on workplace interventions. Evidence-based recommendations will be discussed for the prevention of MSDs at the workplace. After completing the course the participants will have an updated knowledge base of the development of MSDs and effective ways of their prevention and management in the occupational health setting.
