"Diagnostic criteria for work relatedness of neck, shoulder and arm disorders are based on a clinical diagnosis of the disorder and on assessment of the work exposure that may cause the condition. A diagnosis of a work related neck, shoulder and arm disorder has implications for both treatment, actions at the workplace and compensation. It is therefore important that the diagnostic criteria are evidence based and that there is a wide consensus about the evidence base and the criteria that should be applied. SALTSA has (partly) supported the work to produce a consensus document on the topic. This has been published and the document clearly describes the different disorders to consider, workplace exposures including psychosocial conditions and criteria that allows a conclusion if a condition is more likely to be work related than not work related. The document is intended for an audience of physicians and ergonomists involved in the diagnosis of occupational musculosceletal disorders. The material could also be useful for a lay public interested in identifying potential workplace problems, regardless of whether a case of a neck, shoulder or arm disorder has occurred. The material may also serve as a stimulus to suggest further inquiry with experts if a worker has complaints that could suggest a neck, shoulder or arm disorder. ..."

"Ce guide concerne les troubles musculosquelettiques (TMS) du membre supérieur. Après avoir situé la problématique des TMS, il répond aux questions les plus fréquemment posées et fournit des informations sur les données statistiques, la physiopathologie et les signes cliniques des TMS.
Il aborde également les facteurs de risque en général ainsi que ceux spécifiques au secteur secondaire et au travail informatisé. Il présente également la démarche de prévention préconisée par l'INRS et fait le point sur les outils pouvant être utilisés dans ce cadre.
Ce guide s'adresse à tous les préventeurs de terrain."

"Two important goals of ergonomics are the comfort, and the health and safety of workers. In many ways these are mutually compatible, for where health and safety is jeopardized, the discomfort results. Most work-related injuries can be viewed as biomechanical damage to a tissue organ; ultimately all injuries are sustained by tissues. Written by leading figures in the field, Biomechanics in Ergonomics deals systematically with the biomechanics of tissues and organs in the workplace. The book establishes a foundation for the understanding of gross biomechanical leads on the human system at tissue level. It also provides details of the biomechanics of organs, themselves a composite of different tissues, and the differential effect and vulnerability of structures of the organ. Finally, the whole body system is dealt with in a biomechanical context. A thorough description and discussion of common or work-related injuries, the mechanisms of those injuries, the mechanisms of those injuries, and theories of injuries follow this comprehensive treatment of biomechanics. Chapters provide ergonomic relevance, ergonomic scenarios, and practical ergonomic advice on appropriate interventions."
