MY BOOK ON R.S.I. IS NOW OUT OF PRINT. Years of clinical work, study of anatomy, and research on work-related chronic musculoskeletal problems has resulted in this publication: Ranney,DA(ed). Chronic Musculoskeletal Injuries in the Workplace, WB Saunders, Philadelphia, 1997, 336 pages.
For a description of this hot book, click on this hot word. You can still pick up second hand copies on the internet. It pains me to think that anyone would want to part with such a lovely book. NOTE that if our current muscle research does explain the cause of overuse forearm and trapezius pain I shall revise this book. So expect news of a second edition in about 2010
What an achievement! At the age of 78 years I have produced all by myself a 4200 word peer-reviewed explanation of behavioural signs that have been used incorrectly to say that those who exhibit them are faking when applying for treatment or compensation following a motor vehicle accident.
