The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the available classification systems and to describe the similarities and differences in the structure of these systems.
Classification systems of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were located via electronic database searches and researchers' files. The classification systems were compared on the disorders they described and on the criteria presented for each disorder.
Twenty-seven classification systems were found after title, abstract, or full article review of 1671 articles. The systems differed in the disorders they included, the labels used to identify the disorders, and the criteria used to describe the disorders.
Twenty-seven classification systems were found that described disorders of the muscle, tendon, or nerve that may be caused or aggravated by work. No two systems were the same.
本研究旨在对现有的分类系统进行综述，并描述这些系统结构上的异同。
通过电子数据库检索和研究人员的文件查找上肢肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的分类系统。对分类系统所描述的疾病以及针对每种疾病提出的标准进行比较。
在对1671篇文章进行标题、摘要或全文审查后，发现了27种分类系统。这些系统在所包含的疾病、用于识别疾病的标签以及用于描述疾病的标准方面存在差异。
发现了27种描述可能由工作引起或加重的肌肉、肌腱或神经疾病的分类系统。没有两个系统是相同的。
