Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDS) Stress to the body may occur when a person
is exposed to certain high risk activities If the stress is greater than the body’s normal
recovery period, inflammation of the tissue can follow
Chronic inflammation leads to development of a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD)

“The Need to See” As components and associated circuits have
continued to shrink, operators have found ways to enhance their individual focal lengths for vision
This has led to a variety of very predictable postural accommodations
