The Laboratory of Preventive Physical Therapy and Ergonomics of the Physical Therapy Department, develops research in the field of Physiotherapy and Occupational Health involving graduate and undergraduate students.
The aim of our research is to study aspects related to health, work, and quality of life using validated instruments and accurate equipment to monitor physical activity and work postures.
A further aim is to assess whether some interventions, such as workplace-based exercise programs, furniture adjustments, and education, can help to reduce or prevent the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms in the working population.
