Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and impact of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb in the general population
TL;DR: Upper limb pain is common in the general population and is often associated with physical signs suggestive of specific upper-limb disorders, which have a substantial impact on physical function and use of health care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knee osteoarthritis and obesity.
TL;DR: Obesity interacted more than additively with each of Heberden's nodes, earlier knee injury and meniscectomy, giving strong support to public health initiatives aimed at reducing the burden of knee OA by controlling obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Occupation and epicondylitis: a population-based study
TL;DR: Repetitive exposure to bending/straightening the elbow was a significant risk factor for medial and lateral epicondylitis and is associated with prolonged sickness absence in 5% of affected working-aged adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Southampton examination schedule for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb
Keith T Palmer,Karen Walker-Bone,Cathy Linaker,Isabel Reading,S Kellingray,David Coggon,Cyrus Cooper +6 more
TL;DR: The new examination protocol is repeatable and gives acceptable diagnostic accuracy in a hospital setting and its performance in the community, where disease is less clear cut, merits separate evaluation, and further refinement is needed to discriminate between discrete pathologies at the shoulder.
