Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to present a paper about treatment of musculoskeletal disorders from review of literature. Materials and methods: In March and April 2019 were searched various biomedical databases such as PubMed, Research Gate and Academia.edu using the keywords "Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders", "Musculoskeletal Injuries", "Work Injuries", "Physiotherapists", "Occupational health", “Treatment”, on the basis of which the presentation of the data obtained in the found research was done. Results: By reviewing 50 references, we presented the principles of treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. For many patients, clinical treatment decisions are often focused on a specific region of the body without much recourse to the potential impact of prognostic factors or other coexisting pain problems. It is difficult to obtain a more holistic view because examinations and systematic examinations usually focus on the specific site of musculoskeletal pain, comparing only two or three treatment options. Conclusion: Exercise therapy is beneficial for pain, function, and quality of life. Current research evidence shows significant positive effects in exercise programs on pain, function, quality of life, and work-related results in the short and long term for all manifestations of musculoskeletal pain (compared to subjects without exercise). Manual therapy has little or no clinically relevant effect on pain intensity, functional status, global improvement or return to work in patients with acute, subacute or chronic back pain with or without sciatica. TENS was no more effective in reducing placebo pain in chronic back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and chronic musculoskeletal pain in general. Ultrasound and shock wave therapy do not significantly improve the clinical outcomes of acute and chronic lower back pain.

The purpose of the article is to present a paper about to compared research which has dealt with musculoskeletal disorders in physiotherapists and other health professionals at work and to record ergonomic problems. Materials and Methods:In March and April 2019 were searched various biomedical databases such as PubMed, ResearchGate and Academia.edu using the keywords "Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders", "Musculoskeletal Injuries", "Work Injuries", "Physiotherapists", "Occupational health", on the basis of which the presentation of the data obtained in the found research was done. Results:We have selected four studies that we have included in this scientific review of the literature based on the purpose and objectives of the paper. The studies are from India, Greece and Iran. Conclusion:Based on the reviewed studies, the conclusions are: the main ergonomic risks for physiotherapists are: bending the torso forward, flexion of the neck and prolonged standing; education, awareness-raising and training programs on prevention and strategies for dealing with musculoskeletal disorders related to work oblige health professionals, especially high-risk groups such as nurses, dentists and physiotherapists, to reduce the occurrence of these disorders; work-related musculoskeletal disorders can be prevented with three affordable things, i.e. designing an ergonomic work environment, postural education, and regular exercise.Health Organization (WHO), human health hazard assessment is "a procedure that assesses the nature and likelihood of adverse effects on human health due to exposure to one or more factors of physical or mental stress" (WHO 1981). Health hazards are classified as biological, chemical, organizational, or psychosocial that include work-related violence. Health and social work activities have a higher rate of work-related disorders than other activities. These are mainly musculoskeletal disorders, stress, depression and

Introduction: At the Institute for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Rheumatology "Dr Simo Milosevic" in Igalo for 40 years the State program of the Government of Norway has been implemented. The program has been implemented from April to mid-October. In this paper we are going to show the results of the application of physiotherapy skills in maintaining and increasing the mobility of the spine in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. We will show the mobility of the trunk using the standardized measurement method of lateral flexion fully applied by the physiotherapist. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five (25) physiotherapists employed in kinesiotherapy in the second phase of the Institute Igalo have been applying the method of measuring centimeter tape movement lateral flexion of the trunk in 57 patients (32 men or 56.1% and women and 25 or 43.9%) before the start of rehabilitation and after application of therapeutic procedures. In the first group, from April 25 to May 23, 2016 there were 21 participants (13 men and 8 women), while in the second group from May 23, to June 20, 2016 there were 36 participants (19 men and 17 women). The average age of the first group was 60.80 years, while the average age of the second group was 53.36 years. The average age in both groups was 58 years. Results: After the applied therapeutic procedures the average increase mobility lateral flexion of the trunk to the right amounted to 4.72 cm, while the average increase mobility lateral flexion of the trunk to the left amounted to 4.94 cm. The results of the application of the T-test for paired samples showed that rehabilitation led to a significant improvement in mobility in lateral angle (p = 0.006 for the lateral right, p = 0.002 for the lateral left). Wilcoxon signed rank test also showed a significant change in measures of mobility in lateral flexion of the trunk after rehabilitation in relation to the measures before rehabilitation: for the lateral right Z =-2.791, p = 0.005; for the lateral left Z =-3,136, p = 0.002. Conclusion: Results from this study indicate that for maintenance and especially for the increased mobility of the spine in the area of the body in patients with ankylosing spondylitis successfully applied various techniques and skills that a good command of physiotherapists of the Institute Igalo. The long tradition of successful treatment of various forms of rheumatoid arthritis puts Institute Igalo in distinctive multidisciplinary rehabilitation centers in Europe.
