Determining the compensability of an injury often depends on medical records and an employee’s account of their job duties. However, without objective data on the mechanism of injury, physicians face challenges in establishing causation.
This session explores how ergonomics bridges this gap, providing critical insights into job demands and injury risk through cutting-edge technology and validated tools. Learn how ergonomics helps physicians make more informed decisions about injury causation and risk assessment.
