Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-06-24 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there is broad agreement on the importance of rehabilitation and the need to improve occupational health and vocational rehabilitation in the UK, there is considerable uncertainty about what 'rehabilitation' is, and about its cost-effectiveness, particularly for the common health problems that cause most long-term disability and incapacity. This paper seeks to develop a theoretical and conceptual basis for the rehabilitation of common health problems. Chapters include: traditional rehabilitation and the need for a different approach; illness, disability and incapacity for work; the biopsychosocial model and framework of disability; obstacles to recovery and return to work; clinical and occupational management of common health problems; personal responsibility and motivation; and rehabilitation in a social security context.

Book excerpt: Back pain is a leading cause of suffering, high medical costs, andloss of productivity in the workplace. Through a multidisciplinaryapproach, this book addresses the widespread problem ofmusculoskeletal injuries in general and lower back injury inparticular. It presents the principles of ergonomics andbioengineering and their application to the prevention andrehabilitation of lower back injuries. Special attention is givento ergonomic methodologies such as human performance analysis andfunctional capacity assessment. Ways to structure workplaces andjob tasks so as to minimize stresses to the back and improveproductivity are presented. Case studies and population profilesare drawn from ergonomic research performed at the ComprehensivePain and Rehabilitation Center at the University of Miami. Theauthors discuss the origins of low back pain, events that lead toinjury, and the consequences to employers. Back pain is correlatedwith specific occupational factors. Nearly 150 illustrationsfurther these discussions. Among the important preventive andtherapeutic measures explored are: * Bodymechanics education and muscle reeducation * Workplace design and biomechanics * Functional electrical stimulation, electromyography, andbiofeedback * Management of low back pain during rehabilitation andpost-rehabilitation stages Extensive epidemiological data show the devastating effects of lowback pain on the economy, industry, and healthcare delivery. Alsoexamined are the role of medical personnel in the evaluation andtreatment of back pain and the contributions that can be made by anergonomist who is part of a multidisciplinary healthcare deliveryteam. Ergonomics in Back Pain is intended for use by ergonomists,physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists,vocational counselors, chiropractors, osteopaths, andrehabilitation medicine specialists, as well as by engineers,workplace designers, and people working on the implementation ofthe Americans with Disabilities Act.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A patient with a left acute thoracolumbar strain due to a work injury was seen for physical therapy treatment for 6 sessions from 7/21/15 to 8/06/15 at an outpatient occupational health physical therapy clinic. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter with attention to treatment based classification guidelines for lower back pain established by the American Physical Therapy Association, and a plan of care was established. Main goals for the patient were to improve strength, range of motion, neuromuscular control and lumbar stabilization impacting functional activities, gait mechanics, and reduction of disability. Main interventions used were spinal mobilization techniques, therapeutic exercises for strength and range of motion, and spinal stabilization exercises with an emphasis on prevention of future recurrence of lower back pain. The patient improved in strength, range of motion, and functional mobility. Pain and disability were reduced. The patient was discharged to home with a home exercise program.

Download or read book Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide disability benefits: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSDI provides disability benefits to people (under the full retirement age) who are no longer able to work because of a disabling medical condition. SSI provides income assistance for disabled, blind, and aged people who have limited income and resources regardless of their prior participation in the labor force. Both programs share a common disability determination process administered by SSA and state agencies as well as a common definition of disability for adults: "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." Disabled workers might receive either SSDI benefits or SSI payments, or both, depending on their recent work history and current income and assets. Disabled workers might also receive benefits from other public programs such as workers' compensation, which insures against work-related illness or injuries occurring on the job, but those other programs have their own definitions and eligibility criteria. Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment identifies and defines the professionally accepted, standard measurements of outcomes improvement for medical conditions. This report also identifies specific, long-lasting medical conditions for adults in the categories of mental health disorders, cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. Specifically, these conditions are disabling for a length of time, but typically don't result in permanently disabling limitations; are responsive to treatment; and after a specific length of time of treatment, improve to the point at which the conditions are no longer disabling.
