摘要
There cannot be many members of the dental team who have not suffered from musculoskeletal aches and pains on a regular basis, but little emphasis is placed on this area of health and its effect on the dental team [1]. Dental professionals are one of the highest risk groups for developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) [2]. Neck, back, shoulder and wrist pain are most commonly reported amongst dentists, dental therapists and dental hygienists [3].
