Abstract (EN): This paper aims to review the literature concerning the latest developments on the musculoskeletal disorders research, including emerging risk factors as well as the most recent prevention, and treatment and management approaches. Results seem to indicate that socioeconomic, psychosocial and lifestyle factors are likely to contribute to the increased risk of MSDs and to point out multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary interventions based on the active participation of interested individuals as the most effective on prevention, treatment and management of musculoskeletal disorders and related outcomes.
