TITLE:

"Occupational Biomechanics"


ABSTRACT:

Biomechanics plays an important role in the onset and development of
work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD's).  This seminar will
provide an overview of how biomechanical methods are used to better
understand the causes of WMSD's and how biomechanical methods can
be used to evaluate and improve the work environment and the tools used
in the workplace.
