Computer training to prevent MSDs in office workers

The goals of this study are:

  • to develop an evidence-based computer training program for office ergonomics that is also compliant with standards put forth by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • to test the program’s effectiveness in transferring knowledge and skills to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
