Abstract
<p><em>Work disability is a highly relevant topic in occupational and social security health, involving clinical, social, and economic aspects. This article aims to review the determining factors, assessment, social impact, and rehabilitation strategies related to disability caused by Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMDs). A literature review was conducted using databases from the past five (5) years, covering publications from 2020 to 2025. The databases used were PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science, using the keywords: work disability, occupational health, WRMD, rehabilitation, assessment, social security, and Boolean operators: work disability AND WRMD; rehabilitation AND WRMD; assessment AND WRMD; workers' health OR occupational health; WRMD NOT treatment. Reflections on determining factors, assessment, rehabilitation, and the social impacts of such disorders were established. Promoting health, preventing harm, identifying demands involving such disorders, conducting early assessments, and providing appropriate rehabilitation are essential to minimize WRMD-related disability.</em></p>
