The evaluation is non-invasive and non-loading and provides measurements in real time. Soft-tissue damage of ligaments tendons and muscles commonly referred to as sprains and strains has proven to be very difficult to accurately diagnose and assess and represents the highest incidence rate lost days and medical costs in the workers compensation system. 100 patients presenting with work-related musculoskeletal injuries exhibiting physical complaints that persisted for at least two consecutive weeks for which no general medical explanation could be established after medical history and exam were evaluated using EFA in our Occupational Clinic in New Jersey over a 36 month period. The results of this study demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of the EFA as an objective diagnostic aid for identifying and quantifying soft tissue injuries and devising site specific physical therapy treatment regimen to return the injured worker to full duty work release. Background Impact of Musculoskeletal Disorders on the Workers Compensation System The . Department of Labor and Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA define a musculoskeletal disorder MSD as an injury of the muscles nerves tendons ligaments j oints cartilage and spinal discs. OSHA identifies examples of MSDs to include Carpal tunnel syndrome Rotator Cuff .
