Abstract
An empirically derived Rehabilitation Work Conditioning Protocol (RWCP) has been found to significantly reduce the recurrence of upper quadrant cumulative trauma disorders (CTD's) among high risk workers (OSHA Criteria, musculoskeletal disorders, MSD) and dramatically reduce Workers' Compensation Costs at a manufacturing facility. A controlled study to quantify the changes occurring in the worker's physiology as a consequence of the RWCP is proposed, the findings to be configured into a screening protocol to predict a predisposition to upper quadrant cumulative disorders.
