This study aimed to determine the prevalence of WMSDs among DPs and identify associated factors based on professional level. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 151 dental professionals, including dentists, dental nurses, and dental assistants, from various universities and health institutes in Indonesia. Data were collected using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Associations between WMSD symptoms and qualitative data (demographics, job characteristics, and other factors) were examined using the Chi-square test, while quantitative data were analyzed using the independent <i>t</i>-test. The results showed that 96% of respondents (145 out of 151) had experienced WMSDs, with the back (68.2%), waist (66.9%), upper neck (60.9%), and lower neck (59.6%) being the most commonly affected regions. Muscle fatigue (53.6%) and pain (49.7%) were the most frequently reported symptoms. Triggering factors included unergonomic body posture (84.1%) and prolonged sitting (53.6%), while protective factors included rest (71.5%) and improved body posture (53%). Physical exercise was significantly associated with WMSDs (<i>p</i> < 0.001).

However, analyses of clinical datasets support the use of prism adaptation treatment (PAT) in reducing SN and improving function. The main objective of this review is to evaluate the current state of the evidence of PAT therapeutic effects, identify knowledge gaps, and make suggestions to guide further research and support clinical decision-making. We used the framework of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development which provides guidance on best practices for developing effective behavioral interventions that can be implemented in real-world settings. This model emphasizes the interplay between mechanisms underlying therapeutic effects (\"who\" should receive the treatment and \"how\" best does it work?) and considerations of adaptability and feasibility in real-world settings. The present critical review led to the following conclusion: the use of the NIH Stage Model reveals the heterogeneity of PAT studies and challenges in advancing PAT as an effective intervention. The key mechanisms such as prism strength, treatment intensity, arm visibility and activities during treatment, and evaluation methods lack consensus. Therefore, clinical research teams must continue to collect evidence to determine critical mechanisms and the optimal protocol. Further research identifying the optimal PAT protocol is needed before another meta-analysis on PAT's clinical efficacy should be conducted again.</p>","PeriodicalId":73102,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences","volume":"6 ","pages":"1539887"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11835888/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
