Musculoskeletal disorders represent the main cause for absenteeism. To determine the disorders exactly, a multistep inventory of examinations was developed. The method of diagnostics may be an indicator of the quality of occupational medical management. It may improve the availability of health data related to working conditions and may increase the chances of goal-oriented prevention in the field of working conditions as well as in the field of behavior. In addition, the standardized recording of data provides an opportunity for evaluation in epidemiological studies, which may be organized as longitudinal studies to look for the development of musculoskeletal disorders over time.
