SUMMARY:RSI Day 2026 Week 2
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nRepetitive Strain Injury Day Webinar Series\nOHCOW is pleased to announce the return of our free annual international event focussed on musculoskeletal disorders and their prevention. Now in its 27th year\, OHCOW’s RSI Day program continues to translate the knowledge and experience of our professional staff and guest speakers to increase awareness and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Due its ever-expanding audience\, this year’s event will again be held virtually\, as a 4-week webinar series over the month of February. \nWEEK TWO[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n10:00 AM – 10:15 AM \nWelcome Message and Overview \n\nSpeaker: Trevor Schell – Coordinator/OHCOW Ergonomist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:15 AM – 11:00 AM\n\nUnderstanding Fatigue in Occupational Hand Tasks\n\nSpeaker: Michael Holmes – Program Director\, Brock University\n\nRepetitive strain injuries of the distal upper extremity are typically attributed to mechanical strain from cumulative loading. RSIs are multifactorial\, but neuromuscular fatigue is often a common mechanism linking occupational exposure to performance loss and injury risk. This presentation will review biomechanical and physiological evidence showing how peripheral and central fatigue accumulate during repetitive work\, ultimately compromising grip force and hand control. We will discuss our recent work that strives to leverage fatigue as a biomarker for early intervention and prevention. \nDOWNLOAD SLIDES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 AM – 11:45 AM \nErgonomics and Pregnancy\n\nSpeakers: Andrew Flanagan – OHCOW Ergonomist\, Melissa Statham – OHCOW Ergonomist; Jessica Montgomery – OHCOW\n\nPregnancy brings significant physical changes that can affect posture\, balance\, and musculoskeletal comfort. Applying ergonomic principles during pregnancy can help reduce the risk of MSDs\, and promote overall well-being. This session helps workers understand the risk factors associated with pregnancy and MSDs. Emphasis is placed on preventative measures\, body mechanics\, and supportive tools that help expectant mothers maintain comfort\, mobility\, and long-term musculoskeletal health throughout pregnancy. This session will also touch on workplace party responsibilities associated with pregnancy at work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD SLIDES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45 AM – 12:15 PM\n\n\n\nQ & A\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text]REGISTER[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]More information and links to register will be provided.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
