• Conditions: Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among EGYPTIAN Otorhinolarngologists
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: questionaire

Detailed Description

Musculoskeletal disorders(MSD) are one of the most common causes of occupational injuries and disability in industrialized nations and developing countries .with substantial financial consequences due to workers' compensation and medical expenses Otolaryngology (pronounced oh/toe/lair/in/goll/oh/jee) is the oldest medical specialty in the United States.
