Osteomuscular injuries in professionals who perform echocardiograms are common problems of multifactorial
cause. The presence of pain that makes it difficult to carry out work activities is also frequent. Both conditions generate
disability and deteriorate the quality of life of these professionals. The early identification of these problems
and the implementation of prevention measures will help to improve productivity and job satisfaction.
