This study characterized the MOIs, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and factors associated with MSDs of the shoulder among a group of CTDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective medical record review was conducted of CTDs between 21 and 65 years of age who were seen for MSDs of the shoulder between 2007 and 2015.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 130 CTDs were included, who were aged 21 to 65 years. Commercial truck drivers were most often injured during a fall (35%) or while using chains, tarps, or straps (31%). The two most common MSDs were unspecified sprains\/strains (58%) and rotator cuff tears (24%). Age was found to be associated with all MSDs ( p = .001) and an increased risk of developing rotator cuff tears ( p =.005). Seventy-four percent of CTDs who experienced a rotator cuff tear were 46 years of age or older.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion\/Application to Practice:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights the course of the injury in terms of diagnostics such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and referral for surgery and describes the occupational activities associated with CTDs.
