She highlights that repetitive workplace pressure accounts for around 50% of non-fatal work-related injuries. The book covers prevalent MSDs like carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracic outlet syndrome, especially in occupations involving extensive computer use and physical labor. Dr. Dutta also explores inflammation's role in MSD development, proposing a revised categorization system based on tissue changes and pathophysiology. This comprehensive resource reflects Dr. Dutta's dedication to sharing knowledge gained through extensive research, clinical experience, and active participation in the field.
