About This Book
Musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of disabilities in the United States. In the private sector of the United States, there were 900,380 days away from work, with musculoskeletal disorders accounting for 272,780 (or 30 percent). Musculoskeletal disorder cases were 311,840 in 2011. In 2018, there have been 27.2 musculoskeletal disorder cases per 10,000 full-time workers, compared to 35.4 in 2011. Musculoskeletal disorder cases needed an estimated 12 days off work in 2018, compared to 11 days in 2011. Musculoskeletal disorders cause a huge economic burden, costing the working population millions in earnings and lost working days. Arthritis, injuries related to falls, trauma, osteoporosis, and back pain are some of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and disorders. Many people also suffer from the debilitating effects caused by spinal deformities, congenital musculoskeletal defects, and cancers of the bone and soft tissues.
Musculoskeletal Disorders Sourcebook, First Edition provides comprehensive information about the musculoskeletal system, its functions, and common musculoskeletal disorders affecting the bones, muscles, and joints. This book also provides information regarding musculoskeletal system defects caused by genetic factors and congenital anomalies. Along with cancers of the musculoskeletal system, this book contains information regarding workplace-related musculoskeletal conditions caused by repetitive stress injuries to the bones, muscles and joints, and ways to prevent those injuries. Prevention strategies, strategies for therapeutic management of musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation strategies are also discussed. The book concludes with a glossary of terms related to musculoskeletal disorders and a directory of organizations for additional information.
