Are MSDs well documented in France?
Repetitive movements, uncomfortable postures, insufficient recovery time, working in the cold or exposed to vibrations… these are several factors that increase the risk of suffering from musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
These locomotor pains affect the tendons and tendon sheaths, muscles, nerves, ligaments, joint capsules, bursae and vessels.
