The use of head\u2010mounted lighting, loupe magnification, endoscopes, and microscopes is inherent to the field, coupled with repetitive fine motor movements in a constrained anatomic field as well as static, ergonomically unfavorable postures. We seek to review the otolaryngologic literature on ergonomics, including prevalence, severity, and interventions in decreasing work\u2010related musculoskeletal pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Data Sources<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were derived from clinical peer\u2010reviewed primary literature as well as information provided by residency programs and presented at national and international meetings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Review Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A comprehensive review was performed by 3 independent reviewers utilizing an electronic database literature search through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library.

Most studies evaluating interventions to decrease ergonomic risks demonstrate promising results, but standardization in methods and outcome reporting is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Implications for Practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>Literature shows that musculoskeletal pain begins in training, and there is a paucity of information related to ergonomic risk in otolaryngology residency curriculums. Work\u2010related musculoskeletal disorders related to poor workplace ergonomics have the potential to limit career longevity and lead to physician burnout. Interventions to mitigate this risk are effective and tend to be well received by physicians.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/01945998221117095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]],"date-time":"2022-08-09T12:01:04Z","timestamp":1660046464000},"page":"330-338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Ergonomics
