Ergonomic strategies to improve radiographers ’ posture during mammography activities

ConclusionsThe alternative postures simulated have the potential to reduce the risk of developing WRMSDs when radiographers and patients have different statures.Main messages•Radiographers ’ postures in mammography can contribute to work-related musculoskeletal disorders•Non-acceptable posture was identified for MLO breast positioning (radiographer taller than patient)•Adapting posture to patient biotype reduces the WRMSD risk for radiographers
