  • Abstract
    In 1995, Moore and Garg developed a method to analyze jobs to determine risk of distal upper extremity disorders-The Strain Index. Since then the Strain Indexhas been used worldwide. This paper describes the Strain Index briefly, summarizes model validation studies, and likely future revisions to the model.
