Videotapes in evaluating work-related upper extremity symptoms.
Thirteen patients with upper extremity symptoms that were claimed to have occurred in the course of employment were evaluated to determine the role of videotapes in their evaluation and management. Videotapes were of two types: work demonstration by patient or coworker (8 tapes) and surveillance tapes obtained by a private investigator (5 tapes). Four of eight work station videotapes demonstrated significant repetitive motion that could have contributed to their symptoms. Four of eight work station videotapes demonstrated that the tasks were neither forceful nor repetitive in nature. Return to work recommendations were made based on both clinical grounds and job site information provided on tape. After viewing five surveillance videotapes, two fraudulent claims were settled soon after medical opinions were rendered. Two patients were declared able to return to work; one returned to work and the other was dismissed. The videotape of patient No. 13 was not crucial for the decision and he was authorized to have surgery. The opinions formed concerning the causality of alleged claims of injury were often altered by viewing the content of the videotapes. Videotapes are a valuable tool and useful adjunct in the overall management of the workers with upper extremity symptoms.
