   A systems approach to understanding and minimizing the causes of low 
   back pain in the workplace Low back pain affects 800f the population at 
   some point during their lifetime; it is responsiblefor over 400f the 
   compensation costs for work-related injuries. This book provides an 
   understanding of the mechanisms influencing low back pain in the 
   workplace and indicates how low back pain might be prevented, saving 
   employers extraordinary amounts in medical costs and protecting workers 
   from the most common on-the-job injury. With a unique, multidisciplinary 
   perspective that shows how various influences or risk factors can be 
   considered collectively, The Working Back: A Systems View: 
       
       Explains basic concepts in anatomy and physiology that are essential 
   to understanding and preventing low back pain Provides a systems 
   perspective on the occupational causes of back pain, not only addressing 
   factors such as spine loading, but also considering the potential impact 
   of psychosocial and organizational interactions, genetics, and 
   physiology Discusses implementing preventive engineering and 
   administrative controls and integrating risk interventions into the 
   workplace Offers an expert analysis of current medical research on low 
   back pain in one comprehensive, accessible reference This book gives 
   readers the knowledge to assess a work environment and prescribe 
   effective interventions. It is a hands-on reference for ergonomists, 
   manufacturing engineers, process engineers, industrial engineers and 
   managers, safety engineers, nurses, therapists, chiropractors, 
   physicians, and workers with back pain. It is also an excellent resource 
   for graduate or undergraduate students of kinesiology, physiology, 
   ergonomics, physical therapy, nursing, industrial design, engineering, 
   and general medicine.
