Abstract
The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas found that the impact of repetitive motion injuries on their office staff was costing them almost $200,000 a year. They formed a committee to design a cumulative trauma disorder prevention program. Since that time repetitive motion injuries have decreased dramatically and the program has assisted in staff retention.
