CRE-MSD and ACE graduate student research webinar series
This free 30-minute webinar is part of a series of webinars offered through the collaboration of CRE-MSD and the Association of Canadian Ergonomists (ACE).
CRE-MSD is committed to building the capacity of the health and safety system to prevent MSD. Encouraging and providing graduate students a forum to share their MSD-related research and engage in dialogue is one of the ways we do this. This graduate student webinar series has been co-ordinated by ACE and CRE-MSD.
In this webinar
Workers required to perform manual handling tasks face an elevated risk of sustaining MSD. While changes to worker environments, tools, and administrative policies can mitigate MSD risk, altering worker movement behaviours remains an integral part of a holistic prevention strategy. Movement training interventions that incorporate feedback catered to each individual, as supported by growing biomechanical and motor behaviour evidence, are showcased in this webinar. Victor Chan, a University of Ottawa doctoral student, presents his research aimed at developing MSD prevention interventions using data-driven, individual-specific approaches implemented with consideration of motor learning principles.
