Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 80 participants were studied. Body Postures were analyzed, using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. In order to assess the prevalence of disorders and physical activities, standard Nordic questionnaire and Baecke Physical activity questionnaire were used, respectively. Data were analyzed, using Shapiro-Wilk, Independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Chi-Square statistical tests with SPSS-20. Results: The average and standard deviation of Barbers age were 36. 71± 6. 1. The highest of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among Barbers were related to shoulder and waist (95%).

Conclusion: The results showed most prevalence of disorders is related to the upper limbs. Also, Barbers with higher levels of Physical activity have lower levels of WRMSDs. Based on these facts, corrective actions such as chair and equipment re-design, work rest cycle, training and suitable physical practices is necessary.
