Sonographers are at high risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) due to holding awkward postures, making repetitive motions, and applying sustained hand forces. This webinar will share the results of a digital human modelling study that examined upper extremity posture and arm strength demands in sonographers.

This webinar presents findings about the inclusion of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) content across all accredited undergraduate engineering programs in Canada. Learn about the current state of HF/E education in Canada, the implications for human-centred design and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention, and opportunities to strengthen engineering education to better support worker health, safety, and wellbeing.
