What Are the Most Common Musculoskeletal Disorders?

"Increased musculoskeletal disorders in patients can be attributed to shifts in lifestyle, poor ergonomics, and posture. However, patients are now becoming more health-conscious, paying attention to their posture and orthopaedic health, and making more effort to address chronic musculoskeletal problems.

Below are the most commonly seen clinical musculoskeletal disorders:

• Protracted shoulder (Rounded shoulders) — when shoulder positions have moved forward from the body’s ideal alignment.
• Rounded back — a curvature of the spine that causes the top of the back to appear more rounded than normal.
• Poking chin — when your neck slants forward and pokes in front of your shoulders, instead of directly above them.
• Cradling your phone — cradling the phone between your shoulder and head, resulting in stiffness and pain in the neck.
