  • Title: The static biomechanical examination and its importance in occupational medicine.
    Author: Plotkin EL.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 1987 Jul; 4(3):653-69. PubMed ID: 2886208.
    Abstract:
    This article presents a review of the biomechanical examination of the lower extremities. Various techniques for taking measurements are presented in an orderly fashion; a format is given to decrease the total time spent performing examinations. The author proposes that, because lower extremity injury and disease account for a significant portion of compensation cases, this examination be used as a screening device for employment. This preventive measure may decrease health care costs to employers and needless injuries to their employees.
