About the Musculoskeletal Health and Ergonomics Lab

The Musculoskeletal Health and Ergonomics (MHE) Lab is a research group housed in the CCRAH, led by Dr Angelica Lang. We are situated on Treaty 6 Territory & the Homeland on the Métis.

The vision of the MHE Lab is to improve musculoskeletal health and quality of life of people around the world, but with a focus on Saskatchewan. Our goal is to understand how movement and biomechanics are related to injury, musculoskeletal health, and work. We intend to develop robust methods for measurement and analysis in the lab, field, and clinic to comprehensively define motion, particularly of the upper limb, across acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

The overall intended contribution of the lab is to improve health through enhanced understanding and application of ergonomic, return-to-work, and rehabilitation interventions.

The Musculoskeletal Health and Ergonomics Lab is part of the CFI-funded National Agricultural Industrial Hygiene Laboratory (NAIHL) located on the first floor of the new Health Sciences E-wing extension within the Candian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture.   Since moving to the new facilities in Autumn 2013, we have commissioned and outfitted the 70m2 CFI-funded  Laboratory to house both lab-based and field-based equipment.  

The Musculoskeletal Health and Ergonomics Lab has greatly expanded the research capacity for musculoskeletal health, ergonomics, and biomechanics at the University of Saskatchewan.
