What is the Skeletal System?

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
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...

Background:

Endoscopy-related musculoskeletal injuries (ERIs) represent a significant occupational hazard for endoscopists.
These injuries can negatively impact career duration and the overall well-being of medical professionals.

Conclusions:

ERIs are highly prevalent among gastrointestinal endoscopists globally.
Procedural volume, years in practice, and gender are significant risk factors.
Ergonomic training and workplace adjustments are vital for mitigating ERI risks and ensuring sustainable careers.
