Background:
The impact of work-related tasks with potential biomechanical overload on the musculoskeletal system represents an essential socio-economical challenge.
Objective:
This scoping review aimed to map the current literature to identify musculoskeletal disorders and diseases among healthcare professionals and define the approaches used to assess these problems.
Methods:
The analysis was developed according to the JBI methodologies for scoping reviews and reported following the PRISMA-ScR framework.
Results:
We conducted specific searches on online databases; of the 357 articles initially identified, only 118 met the inclusion criteria.
Conclusions:
Despite some discrepancies in their unambiguous identification, the presence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare professionals is unequivocal. On the other hand, using technology as a supporting evaluation tool still needs to be explored. Furthermore, several improvements are required to enhance the quality of work and simplify the analysis across studies.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
