Edward Laskowski, a physician and Corey Kunzer, a physical therapist, both in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Mayo Clinic will discuss some of the musculoskeletal problems associated with working remotely.
Specific topics discussed:
• Frequency of musculoskeletal problems associated with working from home
• Differences between working at home vs. the traditional office
