Objective: To assess the validity of the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), an occupational therapy tool, for epidemiologic research.
Via the virtues of the Oculus Rift, Deep is as much about exploring a vast, unadulterated underwater seascape as it is about utilising a potential occupational therapy tool.

Three hypotheses will be examined: 1. Specific biomedical, psychological, social, and occupational outcome assessment tools are identifiers for the transition from acute to chronic LBP at a time point between 3 and 12 weeks.
Application of the classical tools of occupational medicine and industrial hygiene is hampered by the lack of consensus guidelines for medical monitoring, exposure assessment, and exposure control.
After adjustment for other risk factors, obesity continued to be strongly related to NP+ve disease (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.6-2.9 1.6-2.9d occupasional use of vibratory tools (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.6-3.8).
Despite the potential for errors in the ascertainment of exposures, we found clear positive associations of neurophysiologically confirmed CTS with higher BMI, occupational use of vibratory tools and repetitive work with the wrist or fingers.
None of the patients has had previous severe trauma or fractures of the distal forearm, carpal bones, metacarpal bones, or fingers, and only one patient had a history of occupational exposure to vibratory tools or machinery (a construction worker who frequently drilled concrete).
Many teachers already know the value of occupational therapy as a tool to help children grow in skill and confidence.
Human biological monitoring (HBM) is a well established tool in occupational and environmental medicine.
