Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders in adult population have been a rapidly expanding issue. It has been determined that teachers in educational institutions are one profession that is susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders. Even while MSDs among occupational groups have been extensively researched in other nations, Pakistan currently lacks solid information on this health issue, notably in the teaching profession. Work-related MSDs may result from the demands of this work, which involve daily, continuous stress on the body's muscular systems over the course of at least a year. So, this study is to identify papers that looked into instructor complaints of pain in lower back, shoulder and neck and other body areas. In this way, the objective of this review is likely to explore the works fundamentally and account on the incidence of MSDs as well as the risk factors relating to the job of educator. Any felt pain or discomfort from the nine body regions neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, elbows, wrists/hands, hips/thighs, knees, and ankles/feet lasting for more than one day over the course of the previous 12 months was defined as the prevalence of MSDs which is growing rapidly all around the world
