Ergonomics and the Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders 2/e

A strong physiologic, biomechanical, and psychological basis for
understanding work-related MSDs is provided.
A thorough review of medical conditions associated with work-related
MSDs is included because they directly affect analysis, assessment,
and treatment of MSDs.
Actual work-related MSD programs for high-risk industries and
populations are presented.
A sophisticated outcome assessment model for work-related MSDs
provides a practical approach for therapists to use when assessing
patients.
Content is well organized, beginning with a discussion of the various
professional perspectives of those involved with treating work-
related MSDs, then addressing the medical diagnosis and treatment,
the ergonomic analysis and intervention, and cost-benefit analyses.
Extensive referencing throughout provides an evidence-based approach
for analysis and treatment of work-related MSDs.
A comprehensive discussion is included on the risk factors that
contribute to work-related MSDs.
A panel of highly recognizable contributors provides expertise so
readers can get first hand knowledge from the pros.
Content covers home and leisure as well as work-related MSDs to help
readers understand how to treat special situations, such as
geriatrics, children, and the home.
The structure of the book is set up in a logical and easy-to-read
manner that offers a client-centered approach as well as a systems
perspective on the management of MSDs using a variety of modalities.
