| Abstract | Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the major causes for disability, leading to health and socioeconomic burden. The onset of the pain may start mild, allowing individuals to ignore it as it might not hamper their daily activities. But are these conditions so small enough to be ignored? Most literature search has said about the impact of musculoskeletal disorder in various occupations, health, quality of life etc. Despite extensive research on musculoskeletal disorder, limited attention has been given to viewing musculoskeletal disorders within the holistic framework of WHO definition of health. Objective: The review aims to analyse the possible impact of musculoskeletal disorder in an individual’s life in the context of the WHO definition of health. Method: A conscientious search of recent articles from 2021-2025 was done in Google scholar, to find the impact of Musculoskeletal disorders in an individual’s health and quality of life. The articles focused on studies conducted in various population and occupational groups. Results: Findings revealed that musculoskeletal disorders had a negative impact on an individual overall physical, mental and social well-being by causing physical pain, mental stress and anxiety, resulting to decrease in social participation. Conclusion: Musculoskeletal disorders when viewed through the Lens of WHO definition emerge as multidimensional conditions that require a holistic approach. The review highlights the need for integrated strategies in the treatment, management and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. |
