AB Successful  management  of  work-attributed  musculoskeletal  conditions  requires  the  clinician  to  be  knowledgeable  about  the  injury  as  well  as  the  individual's  occupation,  essential  job  functions,  and  environment.  This  chapter  will  provide  an  overview  of  specific  musculoskeletal  conditions  attributed  to  performing  job-related  tasks.  We  will  also  discuss  the  return  to  work  process  as  it  relates  to  workers’  compensation  and  disability  determination  in  the  setting  of  fitness-for-duty  and  own-occupational  disability.  Of  note,  many  of  the  traditional  occupations  and  associated  job  functions  that  have  historically  been  associated  with  work-attributable  musculoskeletal  disorders  have  diminished  secondary  to  advances  in  automation  and  engineering  in  the  developed  world  and,  in  certain  cases,  this  work  has  shifted  to  other  workforces  globally.
