SUMMARY:Webinar - MSD Risk in Sonography: Do Patient Size\, Scan Time\, and
  Scan\nLocation Matter?
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Sonographers are at high risk of developing musculoskeletal dis
 orders\n(MSD) due to holding awkward postures\, making repetitive motions\
 , and\napplying sustained hand forces. This webinar will share the results
  of\na digital human modelling study that examined upper extremity posture
 \nand arm strength demands in sonographers.
