ABSTRACT
Teaching professionals frequently experience musculoskeletal pain (MSP), both in developed and developing nations. According to earlier research, the prevalence varied from 20% to 95%. The upper limbs, low back, and neck and shoulder were the most often reported MSP locations. But according to a recent systematic review, there is currently a dearth of studies on MSP among teachers; this is especially the case in Malaysia. Only three MSP studies with Malaysian school teachers that evaluated low back pain (LBP) were found. The same systematic study discovered that individual, physical, and psychological factors were among the multifactorial causes of MSP in school teachers. Two of the individual characteristics that were discovered to be positively linked with MSP were the gender of the female and aging. In the meanwhile, common physical aspects associated with employment included bad posture, improper workstation configuration, lifting, and transporting heavy goods. limited job control, limited social support, and high psychological job demands were the identified work-related psychosocial characteristics."
