Musculoskeletal Disorders. Sean Gallagher

MSD risk. Chapters 10–12 discuss concepts related to the unique aspects of fatigue failure in a biological environment, addressing the body’s healing capacity and the influence of personal characteristics and psychosocial stress on MSD risk. The final four chapters (Chapters 13–16) provide methods for assessing risk using fatigue failure methods, implications for MSD prevention, suggestions for optimizing musculoskeletal health, and assessment of the status of knowledge and the need for future research in this area. We would note that the book need not be necessarily consumed in the order in which it was written, as many chapters can be read on their own without loss of meaning.
