Occupational Biomechanics

Trying to effect the prevention and reduction of
musculoskeletal injuries in the workplace
The study of movement related to the act of
performing occupational duties.
Each job requires different physical demands, so
the realm of occupational biomechanics is of a
broad nature.
For example, studying the motions a secretary makes
on a daily basis would be different than those of a
flute instructor.
These studies are useful in the development of new
knowledge that can help rid the workplace of
troublesome aches and pains.
