TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Musculoskeletal injuries demand new treatment model JO - Occupational health and safety A1 - Tramposh, A. SP - 20 EP - 4, 38 VL - 58 IS - 4 N2 - Implementing this model is not easy or inexpensive. By design it is a cooperative effort that relies on multidisciplinary cooperation and intervention. It recognizes the true nature of industry's problem with musculoskeletal injuries: a complex, multifaceted problem that requires more than band-aids or quick fixes. Appropriate management of musculoskeletal injuries addressing all components of the model is a task that must be undertaken if industry is to control its medical costs. Controlled studies must be undertaken to determine the model's effectiveness in the long-term management of industrial musculoskeletal injuries.
