    Abstract of the Seminar :

     

    Work-related musculoskeletal injuries (WMSI) represent a major source

    of work disability. There are two types of WMSI in the workplace. Acute

    WMSI most often develops from a specific mechanical stressor that

    traumatises certain musculoskeletal tissues and results in the sudden

    onset of pain and possibly movement limitation. On the other hand,

    chronic WMSI seldom occurs during a single incident of injury. These

    injuries have been given a number of labels including cumulative trauma

    disorders, repetitive trauma disorders, repetitive strain injuries and

    overuse syndrome. They are defined as disorders or diseases of the

    musculoskeletal system, which may be caused, aggravated, accelerated or

    exacerbated by workplace exposures and impair the work capacity of the

    worker. This seminar will introduce common cumulative trauma disorders

    at the workplace and discuss how to use ergonomics to prevent WMSI.
