The Future of research in understanding and controlling work - related low back disorders / W. S. Marras

Our knowledge of low back disorder (LBD) causation has progressed well over the years with in-depth understanding accelerating in the traditional disciplines of biomechanics, pychology, psychophysics, psychosocial, physiology, genetics, organizational psychology and rehabilitation. However, each of these disciplines has studied LBD causality in isolation of other disciplines. Recent work attempting to understand the interaction between these traditional disciplines has demonstrated that many of the findings along these silos are really interrelated and can be explained in terms of changes in the biomechanical loading at the tissue level. It is argued that further efforts to understand these interactions represent the next level of understanding causality of LBDs
