Summary
This journal article addresses the prevalence and characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) among diagnostic medical sonographers, considering the widespread use of ultrasound in medical imaging.
The study involved 553 sonographers who responded to an online survey, revealing that 83% of them had experienced WRMSD. The research delves into the detailed nature of the musculoskeletal symptoms and explores the professional profile of sonographers. The findings emphasize the need for a deeper analysis of the causes and potential correlations with contributing factors.
The goal is to introduce preventive measures, occupational hygiene rules, and interventions to alleviate symptoms and enhance the overall health of sonographers who frequently engage in ultrasound scanning.
