A participatory ergonomics process has been initiated, the aim of which is to work with cardiac, vascular, and diagnostic medical sonographers to develop interventions that will improve their work conditions and reduce their occupational exposure to risk factors for musculoskeletal discomfort. Numerous surveys have been conducted that have identified sonographers as experiencing high rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. However, intervention research involving them is limited. The presentation describes the research methodology and results from the first stages of the intervention process.
