Abstract:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that despite an overall decrease in the number of workers compensation claims, indemnity, medical costs and days away from work have continued to rise. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) account for 33 percent of these costs. OSHA Defines an MSD as: "Disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage and spinal discs. Wireless technology will play an important role in prevention and diagnosing these injuries. In fact, today's escalating medical costs and ever changing legal and regulatory environment necessitate proactive loss control and wellness strategies. This paper will discuss existing evaluation and diagnostic methods as well as the new wireless EFA technology which will enable employers to proactively prevent and manage MSD cases under a broader range of conditions.
