Work Related Injuries and Disability Evaluation

Back
 
Module 1 - Common Injuries
Musculoskeletal injuries are common in the workplace. Initial diagnoses can be non-specific. Though most musculoskeletal conditions resolve quickly, there are atypical cases which do not follow typical recovery routes. This module reviews injuries involving the lower back and also provides information on other commonly reported musculoskeletal injuries (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Rotator Cuff tears, tendonitis, Whiplash and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). Typical recovery times as well as “red flags” are described.
 
In addition, common diagnostic tests for work related injuries will be reviewed. Patients may be required to have X-Rays, MRIs, CT scans, Discograms, or EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies. Each of these diagnostic tests will be discussed.
   
  Upon completion of this module, the participant will be able to:
    • Describe the most common work related injuries and
  have an understanding of the typical recovery times
 
    • Note the various diagnostic tests utilized to diagnose
  work related injuries
