Events

This webinar provides an overview of the updated decision aid tool entitled Transfer Equipment Resource: Considerations for Promoting Restorative Care and Optimal Client Function.

This webinar will present the most recent evidence related to anti-fatigue mats and MSD health and discuss factors that influence their potential effectiveness from a range of work-related perspectives.

This webinar will discuss requirements for conducting virtual assessments and provide recommendations on proper workstation setup and equipment to minimize risk for musculoskeletal disorders when working from a home office.

This webinar will highlight the outcome of research on the inclusion of hip flexor stretching into stretch and flex programs and the relationship to MSD prevention for overhead work. 

Join us for this in-person event to kick off Global Ergonomics Month and to celebrate 20 years of CRE-MSD!

International scholar, Dr. Jodi Oakman, will share insights and evidence on the intersections between mental health, psychosocial factors, and physical injury risks to support health promotion in the workplace. 

This webinar will introduce research on the use of biofeedback from a wearable device called PostureCoach to shift caregivers to using safer patterns of movement.

Research demonstrates a correlation between an incorrect visual working environment and headache, eye strain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as a correlation between eye strain and musculoskeletal strain. A Visual Ergonomics Risk Assessment Method (VERAM) will be reviewed along with strategies that have improved worker health.

Markerless motion capture and computer vision technology have quickly changed how we can conduct musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk assessments. This webinar will present an overview of a recent study, sharing insights gained and some best practice guidance for implementing these computer vision-based MSD risk assessment technologies in the workplace.
