19
Who gets strains, sprains, and MSDs?
Muscular Skeletal Disorders

• People who sit or bend when they work
• People who improperly lift or carry objects

PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!
20
Contributing Risk Factors to MSDs

• Excessive repetition
• - performing the same task over and over.
• Excessive or sustained force
• - amount of physical effort required to perform
  a task
• Awkward or static postures
• - includes repeated or prolonged reaching
  twisting, bending, kneeling, squatting, working
  overhead with your hands, or holding fixed
  positions.
• Contact stress
• - Pressing the body against hard or sharp edges.
• Ex Leaning on armrests while you type.
• Cold temperature
• Vibration

21
Other Risk Factors

• Non work-related activities may also contribute
  to problems
• Sports/Exercise mountain biking, weight lifting,
  golfing, tennis, stair-masters
• Certain household activities squeezing sponges,
  scrubbing, cutting, chopping, yard work.
• Body Mechanics sleeping in awkward postures,
  slouching.

  factors is involved.

22
How can you prevent MSDs???
