What are common causes and examples of MSDs?

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are commonly caused by repetitive motion, overexertion, awkward postures, and prolonged static positions. Examples of MSDs include carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive wrist movements, tendonitis from overuse of specific muscles, and lower Back pain due to poor lifting techniques. Other contributing factors can include inadequate ergonomic practices and workplace design. Prevention often involves proper training, ergonomic assessments, and regular breaks to reduce strain on the body.
