National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Ergonomic Risk Factors and Cumulative Trauma Disorders.

PB2004104057

Publication Date	1997
Personal Author	Franzblau, A.
Page Count	14
Abstract	Numerous studies have shown a relationship between various physical stressors and upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMSDs). It is generally agreed that a dose-response relationship exists between exposure to these stressors and the prevalence or incidence rate of these disorders. Most of these epidemiology studies however, have only examined exposures in a binary classification, either present/absent or low/high. The present study was designed with the primary goal of providing more information on the shape of the dose-response curve for hand repetition with respect to specific medical outcomes
