Participants recorded time spent performing daily work tasks on a preprinted log, which was then used to calculate time-weighted-average exposures across each week of follow-up. In addition, a weekly Strain Index (SI) risk category was assigned to each participant. Incident musculoskeletal symptoms and disorders were assessed weekly. Proportional hazards analyses were used to examine associations between exposure measures and incident hand\/arm and neck\/shoulder symptoms and disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Incident symptoms and disorders were common (incident hand\/arm symptoms = 58\/100 person-years (PY), incident hand\/arm disorders = 19\/100 PY, incident neck\/shoulder symptoms = 54\/100 PY, incident neck\/shoulder disorders = 14\/100 PY). Few associations between separate estimates of physical exposure and hand\/arm and neck\/shoulder outcomes were observed. However, associations were observed between dichotomized SI risk category and incident hand\/arm symptoms (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.99, 3.04]) and disorders (HR = 1.93, 95% CI = [0.85, 4.40]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evidence of associations between physical risk factors and musculoskeletal outcome was strongest when exposure was estimated with the SI, in comparison to other metrics of exposure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of this study provide evidence that physical exposures in the workplace contribute to musculoskeletal disorder incidence.
