In general, the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) in dentistry is high, and dental assistants (DA) are even more affected than dentists (D). Furthermore, differentiations between fields specialization (e.g., general dentistry, endodontology, oral maxillofacial surgery, or orthodontics) rare. Therefore, this study aims to investigate ergonomic risk aforementioned four for D DA on one hand, compare within each individual field specialization.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are common among dental professionals. The most areas affected the trunk, neck, shoulders and wrists. Current evidence suggests that causes of MSD can be found in physical demands profession. Posture movement during treatment is influenced by arrangement concept (patient chair, equipment cabinets). It has not been investigated whether ergonomic risk differs between concepts.To evaluate prevalence professionals, 1000 responses will collected from a nationwide...
Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is already prevalent in dental students despite their young age and the short duration of practice.

The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is used for the risk assessment of workplace-related activities. Thus far, paper and pen method (RULA-PP) has been predominantly this purpose. In present study, was compared with an RULA evaluation based on kinematic data using inertial measurement units (RULA-IMU). aim study was, one hand, to work out differences between these two methods and, other, make recommendations future use respective basis available findings.For purpose, 130 (dentists + dental...
Introduction: Dental professionals are susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders due unphysiological postures during treatment, which can be mitigated by the choice of a work chair improve ergonomic working posture. Methods: In this study, influence five different chairs on risk assessment using RULA and behaviour 22 right-handed dentists was investigated. To end, dental treatment simulated phantom head, with body posture recorded an inertial motion capture system. The resulting kinematic...
Abstract Background The existing literature on pre-professional ballet students mostly reports injury patterns, eating disorders, hormonal paramenters or other singular items whereas an overall description of anthropometric and orthopedic values this particular study population can rarely be found. aim the present article was to anthropometrically orthopedically describe lower extremity typical vocational student, establish a database enable future comparisons. Methods In study, n = 606 (414...
The occupation of dental assistants (DAs) involves many health risks the musculoskeletal system due to static and prolonged work, which can lead disorders (MSDs). aim study was investigate prevalence MSDs in DAs Germany. Methods: For this purpose, an online questionnaire analyzed 406 (401 female participants 5 male participants, 401w/5m) DAs. It based on Nordic Questionnaire (lifetime, 12-month, seven-day MSDs’ separated into neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, upper back, lower hip, knee, ankle),...
