Musculoskeletal health, work-related risk factors and preventive measures in hairdressing: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hairdressers are exposed to various work-related biomechanical and organizational risk factors. To date, there has been no overview of the evidence for this occupational group. The purpose of this scoping review is to gain insight into the current state of research on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in hairdressing.

Methods

Studies published up to November 2018 were identified by a systematic search using electronic databases (MEDLINE, PUBMED, CINAHL, Web of Science, LIVIVO), Google Scholar and reference lists of articles. Studies were screened by two researchers and synthesized in a descriptive manner.

Results

Overall 44 studies with different study designs, scopes and approaches were included. Nineteen studies provided data on MSD prevalence
