Listen again to PREMUS 2016 keynote speeches

The PREMUS 2016 keynote speakers offered fresh and interesting perspectives on four very different areas of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention research: risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome, the optimal mix of sitting and standing on the job, the role of stretch programs in construction safety culture, and the implications of sex and gender on interventions to prevent work-related MSDs. We recently posted slidecasts of all four keynotes so you can listen to them again, and share them with colleagues who were unable to make it to the conference.
