Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

1.7K
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...

Summary

Serious games (SGs) show promise for preventing workplace musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) but require standardized design and evaluation. More research is needed to establish their effectiveness in occupational health.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Game Design

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) pose significant workplace health risks.
  • Traditional ergonomic interventions often lack long-term effectiveness and worker engagement.
  • Serious games (SGs) offer a novel approach to sustained impact and engagement in MSD prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze characteristics of SGs for work-related MSD prevention.
  • To explore the documented effects and potential of SGs in MSD mitigation.
  • To assess the current state of SG design, gameplay, and outcomes in occupational health.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a scoping review of 6 scientific databases up to 2025.
  • Included original research articles in English on MSD prevention and mitigation.
  • Applied a 2-level analysis: descriptive and content-based analysis of game design, gameplay, and evaluation.

Main Results:

  • 15 studies met inclusion criteria, showing diverse SG applications and variable design/evaluation approaches.
  • Limited studies comprehensively addressed both SG design and educational evaluation.
  • Inconsistent evaluation methods and a predominant focus on physical risk factors were observed, with psychosocial aspects underexplored.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized protocols for SG design and evaluation are crucial for synthesis and impact measurement.
  • SG integration for MSD prevention is limited, often indirect.
  • Further research and validated SG interventions are needed to establish effectiveness in occupational health.
