This really is an SOS!

Did you know that

• 85% of sonographers have RSI symptoms
• 1 in 5 injuries are career ending
• 40% of staff have been off sick in the last year with RSI
• 91% of sonographers have symptoms in the scan arm, 23% in the non scan arm
• High rates of carpal tunnel syndrome above the national average for under 40 years
• This is a global problem and a growing problem as the u/s modality has increasing demand

Are you shocked by these statistics?

Are you one of the 86% of sonographers who have RSI symptoms?
