概要 Recently, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among endoscopists have attracted considerable attention. MSDs are caused by prolonged static postures, forceful manual exertions, and repetitive twisting maneuvers. Basic knowledge of ergonomics is useful for improving the posture, movements, and work environment of endoscopists, as well as developing equipment to prevent MSDs. This review discusses problematic endoscopic tasks from an ergonomic perspective, issues with MSD definitions, the prevalence of MSDs, local site interpretations, risk factors including working time and environment, and ergonomic evaluations. The evidence highlights the importance of multifaceted strategies for risk avoidance using the Hierarchy of Controls. Additionally, this review summarizes global trends and introduces the Ergonomic Endoscopy 7 Tips for MSD prevention, emphasizing a systems approach through collaboration with various stakeholders. Thus, it may serve as a guide for gastroenterologists and staff engaged in endoscopic procedures for prolonged periods.
