Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Work Place

This is the first book to combine all information required to treat orthopedic disorders related to the workplace. It integrates the fields of biomechanics and ergonomics into joint-specific chapters to yield a comprehensive textbook on occupational orthopedics. The structure and function of the musculoskeletal system and the effect of work on the body are thoroughly covered, as are posture, manual material handling, repetitive loading, trauma, and cumulative trauma.
