Systematic review of quantitative imaging biomarkers for neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders

BACKGROUND This study systematically summarizes quantitative imaging biomarker research in non-traumatic neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). There were two research questions: 1) Are there quantitative imaging biomarkers associated with the presence of neck and shoulder MSDs?, 2) Are there quantitative imaging biomarkers associated with the severity of neck and shoulder MSDs? ...

Work, a prognosis factor for upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders?

To determine if occupational factors were associated with the outcome in workers with UEMS symptoms or disorders, we used data from the repetitive task survey performed in 1993 1994 and again in 1996 1997. The design has been described in earlier publications. , – – [8 Each worker had a standardized medical examination at baseline and again in 1996 1997. The self-administered questionnaire fill...
