title: Occupational soft-tissue and tendon disorders.
abstract: Reports of work-related musculoskeletal disorders have increased. The cause of the problem has yet to be determined. Thus far, only cross-sectional case and controlled studies exist. It is important for the physician to develop a thought process to separate patients with subjective complaints and real objective findings from those with unreasonable subjective complaints and minimal or no findings.
