The Insurance Court dismissed the claim that a 60-year-old plant manager was not engaged in strenuous work. The employee suffered knee arthritis and argued that navigating multi-level factory floors constituted strenuous labor. The court rejected this, ruling that the physical demands of the specific job did not meet the legal threshold for strenuous work despite the employee's age and condition.
