Book Description
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.
