This is a thorough revision of Vern Putz-Anderson's authoritative guide, which incorporates current research and opinion. Cumulative Trauma Disorders provides a clear, reliable and usable guide to those who are actively involved in the assessment and prevention of work related muskoskeletal disorders. It presents information that enablesnon-medical personnel to recognise the dangers and risks of such CTD's (also known as repetitive strain injuries, or work related upper limb disorders), and discusses the present strategies for preventing their occurrence. The book begins by defining CTD's, including certain muskoskeletal disorders that are not directly work related, such as arthritis and traumatic injuries, but which can be irritated by activity. It goes on to discuss indicators of CDT's and identification methods. The final section looks at how to prevent CTD's, and includes a new section on evaluating proposed control strategies. HR managers and health profesionals need a dependable and authoritative reference. Students need a concise survey of the subject. This book satisfies the needs of both.
