JRP Ergonomics has provided many hundreds of expert witness reports in personal injury cases, but also offers advice in other cases where ergonomics may be material to the arguments.

Musculoskeletal Disorders

JRP's expertise is primarily in the area of musculoskeletal disorders. Reports have been provided in cases where the injured party has been diagnosed as suffering from various conditions, such as:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tenosynovitis
• RSI
• Back pain
• Tennis elbow
• Prolapsed intervertebral disc
• Herniae
• De Quervain’s disease
• Cervical spondylosis
• Rotator cuff syndrome
• Extensor tendinitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Complex regional pain disorder
• Chronic neuromuscular dysfunction

This service is available to either Claimant or Defendant representatives, but most reports are now produced on a Single Joint Expert basis. We can also offer advice in other cases where ergonomics may be material to the arguments.
