This panel is discussing research conducted as part of the Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder Consortium with the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. The panel has two researchers conducting low back research and two researchers performing upper extremity research. The goal of the panel is to inform the audience about the consortium and some of the state of the art research that is being conducted.
