Shoulder injuries are among the most common nonfatal occupational injuries in the U.S. They account for the highest median days away from work per incident compared to injuries to any other body part. In recent years, an average of about 68,000 workers annually miss up to 26 or more days of work recovering from shoulder injuries. Improper lifting, overexertion, repetitive motions, falls, and other health conditions can lead to serious shoulder injuries requiring physical therapy, surgery or may even result in permanent damage.
This course provides important information on the anatomy of the shoulder, the causes and risk factors associated with common occupational shoulder injuries, and the preventive measures that can be used to avoid painful and costly injuries.
