Abstract
Disorders of the musculoskeletal system are widespread, being a significant health problem for various professions. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) have a multifactorial etiology, but occupational factors, such as working with heavy loads, repetitive movements, awkward work postures, local vibrations and others, definitely contribute to their occurrence. The past decade gave evidence of a high incidence of MSDs also during work with video display units. This literature survey deals with the ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders and measures to prevent them.
