Completely revised and updated, the 2nd Edition of this respected reference covers both the theoretical background and the clinical management-as well as the biomechanics and ergonomics-of orthopedic injuries occurring in the workplace.
· Emphasizes the prevention of disability.
· Offers expanded coverage of specific disorders · new topics, including whiplash · and a new section on outcome evaluation.
· Includes Workplace Adaptations with Case Studies in every body segment chapter.
Features several new chapters: Functional Capacity Testing · Disability Evaluation · Treatment Options for the Wrist and Hand · Evaluation of the Neck · and Epidemiology of the Neck.
