Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “New Advances in Musculoskeletal Disorders” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/M1VJQI7A6H). Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) remain a leading global health burden, driving disability across clinical and occupational settings. Building on the 1st edition’s exploration of epidemiology and risk factors, this 2nd edition emphasizes multidisciplinary innovations spanning medicine, dentistry, oriental medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, and industrial engineering. Advances in regenerative medicine and AI-driven diagnostics are revolutionizing personalized care, while wearable sensors enable real-time biomechanical monitoring in workplaces. Integrative approaches now merge Western medicine with acupuncture and manual therapies, and occupational therapy programs demonstrate efficacy in reducing work-related MSDs through ergonomic training. Industrial engineering contributes smart ergonomic tools to mitigate occupational risks, while nursing interventions focus on chronic pain management via cognitive–behavioral strategies. Dental research explores temporomandibular joint disorders, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation protocols combine physical conditioning with psychological support to enhance functional outcomes. This Topic also highlights biopsychosocial models addressing comorbidities like cardiovascular and mental health conditions. By uniting diverse fields, from robotic-assisted surgery to traditional herbal therapies, we aim at bridging gaps between prevention, precision treatment, and sustainable rehabilitation, fostering a holistic paradigm for musculoskeletal health.
