Abstract: | Little research has been done to investigate the presence of musculoskeletal injuries amongst radiographers. This study investigated the various anatomical regions that radiographers have sustained an injury which in their opinion is related due to work. The research tool used was a questionnaire, from which qualitative and quantitative data was obtained. The main causes leading to an injury were outlined and listed and the data was analyzed and as the results show, musculoskeletal injuries exist amongst radiographers as the incidence was of 64% of the total participants. Several recommendations were given in the respondents' opinion on how to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in the future. The most common being the requirement for continues professional development with regular courses as regards patient lifting and handling techniques. |
