Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the leading types of work-related injury. The term “musculoskeletal disorder” refers to any condition or injury that affects the muscles, nerves, joints, ligaments, tendons, and bones. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that more than a third (34 percent) of all lost instances in which employees call out from work are attributed to MSDs. This is far more than the cold, flu and other illnesses.
