Résumé

Bedside chest radiography is one of the most performed medical imaging examinations requiring repeated movements and awkward postures from Radiographers. During this study the postural strain was evaluated in a simulation set using photogrammetry methods. Results showed demanding postures for X-ray tube manipulation and patient handling, requiring unacceptable arm flexion, and neck extensions, more evident for shorter radiographers. There is a need to improve communication between users, equipment manufacturers and designers to design equipment fitting Radiographers’ needs.
