The aim of this study is to review the differences on kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity parameters between the musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) group and the healthy group in everyday activities. This paper outlines the existing evidence on the differences of the kinematic, kinetic and muscle activities between participants with MSD and healthy participants during several activities. The search included Google-Scholar, Scopus, Elsevier-Science Direct and IEEE Explore, which next were separated into three categories: kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity parameters. Studies that compared movements between individuals with MSD and healthy participants were included. From the search results, we identified a total of 335 articles, 134 articles were selected. However, as this study focused only on participants with MSD, 113 articles were eliminated because those articles included participants who had injuries or diseases. Thus, the articles with non-MSD related were excluded which resulted with only 21 articles for final review. Based on the review, there were differences between MSD group and healthy group on kinematic, kinetic and muscle activity parameters. The MSD group had significantly greater hip and knee joint angles during walking and the average of all muscles in MSD group was higher than the healthy group.
