Research agenda.Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.BackacheIndustrial accidentsArmWounds and injuriesBackWounds and injuriesMusculoskeletal Diseasesepidemiology(DNLM)D009140Q000453Occupational Diseasesepidemiology(DNLM)D009784Q000453Low Back Painepidemiology(DNLM)D017116Q000453Back Injuriesepidemiology(DNLM)D019567Q000453Arm Injuriesepidemiology(DNLM)D001134Q000453Backache.Industrial accidents.ArmWounds and injuries.BackWounds and injuries.Musculoskeletal Diseasesepidemiology.Occupational Diseasesepidemiology.Low Back Painepidemiology.Back Injuriesepidemiology.Arm Injuriesepidemiology.617.4/7044National Research Council (U.S.).Panel on Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace.Institute of Medicine (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969759103321Musculoskeletal disorders and the workplace4352177UNINA
