Summary

Back injury among healthcare providers is an increasingly visible issue in the occupational health and safety arena. This book presents the latest research and information on this topic from an epidemiological, legal, and equipment manufacturing point of view. Using case histories from a number of injured healthcare workers, the book analyzes back injuries from the worker's point of view and gives a detailed discussion of the legal and rehabilitation pitfalls that workers face when dealing with an injury. The editors compare US and international regulations for prevention and rehabilitation and explore scientific strategies to prevent future problems.
