A review on workplace and individual factors in wrist tendinosis among blue-collar workers
Introduction
Wrist tendinosis among blue collar workers is not a new topic in work places. It results from long hours of activities that cause injuries which do not heal properly. The tendinosis injuries are not superficial but are only felt (Shuval, K., & Donchin, M., 2005).

This can only be achieved through managing risks associated with tendinosis and coming up with the right treatments for the victims (Janwantanakul, P. et al, 2010).
The article under this critique did not highlight what prompted or motivated its researchers to carry this study. A research is carried out to provide solutions which are viable. The authors of journal under this discussion did not show how the hand/wrist tendinosis affected the output of workers in the workplace thus it basically lacked the problem statement. The research concentrated on the correlation rather than how the tendinosis problem can be cured or prevented.
Description of the research procedure
The research under this critique was carried out in 4 manufacturing industries. The sample had a population of 413 individuals who were followed for a period of 28
