  • Title: Determining the cause of upper extremity complaints in the workplace.
    Author: Derebery VJ.
    Journal: Occup Med; 1998; 13(3):569-82. PubMed ID: 9666508.
    Abstract:
    Occupational musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity have been termed cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and are considered to result from repetitive job function. Determination of work-relatedness of CTDs has far-reaching consequences. The physician equipped with objective, scientific knowledge is less likely to encourage disability or stress the workers' compensation system.
