Position the system

Promote comfortable shoulder, arm, and hand postures

• Use a stand to support the weight of the ultrasound system.

Minimize eye and neck strain

• If possible, position the system within reach.

• Adjust the angle of the system and display to minimize glare.

• If using a stand, adjust its height so that the display is at or slightly below eye level.

Position yourself

Support your back during an exam

• Use a chair that supports your lower back, that adjusts to your work surface height, that

promotes a natural body posture, and that allows quick height adjustments.

• Always sit or stand upright. Avoid bending or stooping.

Minimize reaching and twisting

• Use a bed that is height adjustable.

• Position the patient as close to you as possible.

• Face forward. Avoid twisting your head or body.

• Move your entire body front to back, and position your scanning arm next to or slightly in front

of you.

• Stand for difficult exams to minimize reaching.

• Position the ultrasound system or display directly in front of you.

• Provide an auxiliary monitor for patient viewing.

Promote comfortable shoulder and arm postures

• Keep your elbow close to your side.

• Relax your shoulders in a level position.

• Support your arm using a support cushion or pillow, or rest it on the bed.

Promote comfortable hand, wrist, and finger postures
