Use case : MSDs in the medico-social sector
Identify the risks, act on the solutions
In 2022, more than 8 out of 10 employees (86%) suffer from at least one musculoskeletal disorder, according to a study by Ifop for Percko. The medico-social sector, particularly in personal care and assistance, is heavily impacted by MSDs, with their incidence steadily increasing over the past decade.
In 2023, only 45% of medico-social establishments had implemented MSD prevention programs, despite recommendations from health authorities.
Strengthening these initiatives is essential to improving the quality of life at work for professionals in the sector and ensuring a safer and healthier work environment.

Our feedback with ADMR
As the leading national network of nonprofit personal assistance services in France, we had the pleasure of working with ADMR.
For over a year, Romane Repessé, an ergonomist at Moovency, supported the ADMR 64 federation in a comprehensive project aimed at prevention, raising awareness, and improving the working conditions of their teams.
The program for this support included:
- Defining the intervention scope : Setting the boundaries and objectives of the intervention.
- Informing the teams : Explaining the methods, reminding them of the context, and clarifying their roles.
- Analyzing the work of the agents : Collecting biomechanical data with KIMEA, gathering psychological data through interviews, and assessing organizational and environmental factors
By adopting concrete measures, a medical-social establishment can significantly reduce the incidence of MSDs among its staff, as well as improving their working conditions and the quality of care provided to patients.
