This volume looks at the management of otherwise healthy people with regional musculoskeletal symptoms that cause occupational incapacity. The first section provides general information on musculoskeletal disease. The following sections provide practical information describing how to approach the patient and useless versus useless treatment. The last section deals with issues which cannot be ignored when dealing with occupational disability and is written in "broad strokes" so that the information is not dated or of limited applicability. The book also has insights into how people perceive and cope with musculoskeletal illness and how these perceptions impact on the physician-patient interaction. It also has guidelines on management and diagnosis of specific regional musculoskeletal illness and on disability determination.
Part 1 The predicament of musculoskeletal morbidity: beware the procrustean bed; the dangers of the diagnostic process - iatrogenic labelling as in the fibrositis paralogism; all those pills; the pitfalls of empirical and of aggressive therapies. Part 2 The patient with regional musculoskeletal symptoms: the concept of regional musculoskeletal ilness; axial syndromes, differential diagnosis - recognizing systemic backache, regional back pain without radiculopathy, neck pain, radiculopathies, lumbar spinal stenosis, insufficiency fractures, myelopathy; upper extremity regional musculoskeletal illnesses - shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand; lower extremity regional musculoskeletal illnesses - hip, knee, ankle and foot; the entrapment neuropathies. Part 3 The claimant with musculoskeletal disability: torts and musculoskeletal disease; workers' compensation and regional backache; coping with arm pain in the workplace; social security - the process of pensioning the invalid; the disability determination enterprise.
