Symptoms, diagnosis and evolution of musculoskeletal disorders

Prevention is action against MSDs

The symptoms of MSDs depend on the location and nature of the condition. They are weakly felt at the beginning, and the evolution is generally done in several phases.

MSDs are usually diagnosed by the treating physician. It is based on the medical examination and, if necessary, on additional examinations, depending on the nature of the musculoskeletal disorders.

If musculoskeletal disorders are not treated medically and if the factors that contributed to their appearance are not corrected, MSDs recur and become chronic. They lead to an inability to do more and more light activities.
