Webinar: Development of Data-Driven, Individual-Specific Interventions for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder Prevention
March 10, 2021 | 12:00 to 12:30 PM EST
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.
