Shoulder Tendinopathies and Occupational Biomechanical Overload: A Critical Appraisal of Available Evidence.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between occupational exposure to biomechanical risk factors and shoulder tendinopathies.

Methods

We updated recent systematic reviews about specific shoulder disorders and work-related risk factors. MEDLINE was searched up to September 2022. Studies satisfying the following criteria were included: i) the diagnosis was based on physical examination plus imaging data (when available), and ii) the exposure assessment was based on video analysis and/or directly measured.

Results
