Physical exertion at work plays a major role in the development of musculoskeletal problems. There is growing evidence that work-related psychosocial factors may also contribute to musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal pain and its demographic, physical, and psychosocial risk factors among dentists in Jordan.MethodsThis cross-sectional study utilized a validated self-administered questionnaire distributed to 272 currently working Jordanian dentists. The questionnaire consisted of four sections: sociodemographic information, work physical characteristics, work-related psychosocial factors, and musculoskeletal pain assessment.ResultsFifty-one percent (51%) of Jordanian dentists reported experiencing musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months. Neck pain (42%), followed by shoulder pain (40%), and lower back pain (40%), were the most common among dentists in Jordan. Increasing age, being a female, and obesity were significantly associated with musculoskeletal pain while smoking, exercise, and specialty level did not. A positive correlation between musculoskeletal pain and unfavorable physical characteristics at work was identified. In addition, increased work stress was positively correlated with musculoskeletal pain.ConclusionThis study showed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among Jordanian dentists. Increasing dentists' and healthcare authorities' awareness about factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal pain is needed.

Carrying loads such as infant mannequins or bags may alter lower extremity joint angles and induce muscle fatigue in the upper extremities of carriers, including men, women, postpartum women, and women who have not given birth. However, the biomechanical effects of various carrying methods on mothers remain poorly understood.ObjectiveThis cross-sectional descriptive study compared the effects of unloaded walking with three infant-carrying conditions on gait mechanics.MethodsThirty healthy mothers' gait parameters were recorded using a motion capture system under four conditions: unloaded walking (UW), front-facing carrying (FC), back-facing carrying (BC), and in arms carrying (IA).ResultsAcross all infant-carrying conditions, notable changes were observed in gait parameters. The front-facing carrying condition elicited the greatest changes in gait mechanics, particularly in pelvis. The in arms carrying condition exhibited minimal changes in gait compared to the back and front-facing carrying conditions. Significant alterations in gait were observed in all infant-carrying conditions compared to unloaded walking (p < 0.05). The results indicated that ankle (M = 41.15 ± 0.25; M = 24.18 ± 0.29; p = 0.0024), and pelvis (M = 6.15 ± 0.35; M = 9.25 ± 0.45; p = 0.0036) movement patterns led to the greatest deviation in gait among four conditions.ConclusionFront-facing carrying imposes the greatest biomechanical and physiological strain while back carrier offers more ergonomically efficient alternative.
