scientific literature needed to guide evidence-based OT and PT clinical practice and perhaps to set someon the way to producing such scientific literature themselves.BSC 6301E – Ergonomics Hours: 2This online self-study course examines a variety of aspects of work related ergonomics. Participants willreview the history of ergonomics, ergonomic statistics, client centered framework of practice, the(Americans with disabilities act), universal design, posture, standing, sitting and computer work stationevaluation, occupational risks, cumulative trauma disorders/repetitive strain injuries/tendonitis, and lowback pain. Worker assessment and work hardening are reviewed before carrying out a worksiteassessment. Injury prevention, ergonomic equipment, ergonomic resources, and documentation are alsodiscussed. The course requires students to complete three projects: a posture evaluation, a computerworkstation evaluation and a work site evaluation. Bulletin board (BB) interaction is used to addresssubjects and respond to other students comments. Questions are addressed, papers written and projectswritten including a work site evaluation report letter.BSC 6301 – Ergonomics Hours: 2This online course examines a variety of aspects of work related ergonomics.

Arthrologyand biomechanics are discussed, with special attention to tissue biomechanics and arthrokinematics.Emphasis is placed on spinal anatomy and movement. The University's philosophy of examination,treatment, and pain management is introduced but attention is also given to other diagnostic classificationsystems. Classifications and indications for manipulation are reviewed. The course provides anintroduction to the evidence-informed clinical practice paradigm teaching the student to combine varioussources of knowledge in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of orthopaedic dysfunctions.Analysis, synthesis and evaluation will be demonstrated through a final portfolio of evidence basedresearch and a student’s critique of the current literature and design of a hypothetical study.BSC 7301 - Ergonomics Hours: 2This online course examines a variety of aspects of work related ergonomics.
