    Author: Klipstein A, Huwiler HJ, Widmer M.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 2001 Aug; 58(8):515-20. PubMed ID: 11552360.
    Abstract:
    Non-specific musculoskeletal disorders are a major health problem. Despite good prognosis socio-economic burden is important. Just a few treatment strategies are known to reduce work-disability. An early ergonomic assessment helps to determine the level of disability and further rehabilitation strategies. An assessment consists of a self-rating of the physical capacities and a physical performance test. Work-place demands and psychosocial factors should also be considered by interview. An ergonomic work-place analysis supports this information and facilitates reintegration. Furthermore, work-place adaptations can be performed.
