CARROLL, J. The employee appeals from a decision awarding her workers’ compensation benefits due to a repetitive twisting injury that caused her to leave work on November 15, 1996. The judge concluded that the employee was totally incapacitated until May 1, 1998, the date on which the judge viewed a job in the swatch room at the workplace. From that date onward, the judge awarded partial incapacity benefits, based on the employee’s ability to perform the observed job. The employee challenges the judge’s finding that the employee could return to work, part-time. We affirm the decision.
