Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including low back and upper extremity disorders, represent one of the greatest work-related health concerns facing industrialized nations. Recently, two national groups were charged with developing research agendas aimed at increasing our knowledge of the prevention of these disorders. The first agenda, developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) MSD team, was based on input from several hundred practitioners and safety and health experts representing industry, labor, and academia. The second agenda, developed by the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) National Panel on Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace, was based on input from leading researchers in the fields of medicine, information science, and ergonomics. This paper summarizes the findings of the two groups and compares the two research agendas.
肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD），包括腰背部疾病和上肢疾病，是工业化国家面临的与工作相关的最大健康问题之一。最近，两个国家级团队受命制定研究议程，旨在增进我们对这些疾病预防的了解。第一个议程由美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）的国家职业研究议程（NORA）MSD团队制定，其依据是数百名代表行业、劳工和学术界的从业者以及安全与健康专家的意见。第二个议程由美国国家研究委员会（NRC）和美国国家医学研究院（IOM）的肌肉骨骼疾病与工作场所国家小组制定，其依据是医学、信息科学和人体工程学领域顶尖研究人员的意见。本文总结了这两个团队的研究结果，并比较了这两个研究议程。
