The underlying hypothesis was that there would be Generic Postures (GP) that would be repeated and could be used to more simply describe repetitive and long-duration complex activities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The posture of five physiotherapists performing five 20-min MLD at their workplace was captured by two cameras. From the recordings, the adopted postures were extracted every 5 s and quantified through 13 joint angles, that is, 6594 analyzed postures. Rapid Upper Limb (RULA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) were used to assess MSDs risks. A hierarchical analysis was used to define GP.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Seven GP were identified through mean values and standard deviation. GP ergonomic assessment showed a low to moderate MSD risk (RULA between 3 and 6 and REBA between 2 and 7). High neck (&amp;gt;20\u00b0) and trunk (&amp;gt;15\u00b0) flexion were observed for all GP. High shoulder abduction and flexion (&amp;gt;40\u00b0) were evidenced for GP3 to GP5. GP1 was the most used (34%) and presented the lowest ergonomic scores (RULA: 4.46 \u00b1 0.84; REBA: 5.06 \u00b1 1.75). GP3 to GP6 had frequency of between 10 and 20%. GP5, GP6, and GP7 obtained the highest ergonomic scores (RULA&amp;gt;5; REBA&amp;gt;7). All physiotherapists use different GP combinations to perform MLD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>MLD could be described as a combination of GP.
