Abstract
Evaluation of the patient with upper limb cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) requires use of both qualitative and quantitative measures. The clinical evaluations are reviewed, which include tests for range of motion, strength, limb size, sensation, and dexterity. Essential observations for identifying and describing the presentation of posture, symptoms, and painful events are illustrated for qualitative descriptions related to work activities and activities of daily living (ADL). Therapeutic intervention is described in two sequential stages: calming of symptoms and then control of symptoms.
