Computer Ergonomics for the Therapy Professional
Course Overview
The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge to identify ergonomic risks and make sound ergonomic recommendations to help clients prevent discomfort and injury at a computer. While we review what an ergonomist may recommend in a particular situation, our goal is to give students ergonomic analytical tools and apply this knowledge to any case at hand.
