    « Troubles musculo-squelettiques professionnels: Ergonomie et prévention chez les bureaucrates »

    Les étudiants du département de physiothérapie à la Lebanese German University –LGU a organisé une conférence intitulée « Troubles musculo-squelettiques professionnels: Ergonomie et prévention chez les bureaucrates » et le vendredi 4 avril 2014 à l’Auditorium ULE, Sahel Alma.

    Une position  assise prolongée devant un écran d’ordinateur est responsable de troubles musculo-squelettiques ou TMS qui  sont  des pathologies dues à des blessures des tissus mous notamment des tendons, ligaments, vaisseaux sanguins et nerfs causés par un travail répétitif.

    Les conséquences de ces troubles sont des douleurs aigues et un inconfort durant le travail ce qui va mener à un absentéisme répétitif, une perte de productivité, une perte de temps et d’argent pour des visites médicales et des traitements médicamenteux ainsi qu’une perte de la qualité de vie de la personne.

    « Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir » : dans ce but les étudiants Alaa SALEH, Patricia STEPHAN, Carine HENNAOUI, Samia FAKHRY, Lea NASSAR, Antoinette SAFI, Nando HARB, Elie KARABACHE, Lucien NAKHOUL, ont pris à cœur l’initiative de développer une formation inspirée du cours d’ergonomie afin d’aider les bureaucrates à déterminer si leur poste d’ordinateur est adapté à leurs besoins en leur fournissant  à l’aide d’une présentation qu’ils ont développé eux même sous la direction de l’enseignante du cours,  les outils de base pour aménager et entretenir un espace de travail de manière à favoriser la santé et la bonne posture. A la fin de la conférence, un guide vidéo va cependant être distribué à tous les spectateurs. (photos attached)

      Visit of Professor Dr. Michel Landry to LGU As An Expert in The DPT Field


As we are aiming for excellence in teaching at the Doctor of Physical Therapy program (DPT), LGU was honored to host another renowned expert in the field, Doctor Michel Landry.
Dr. Michel D. Landry is a Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and in Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI) at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina (USA). Prior to his current position, Dr. Landry spent seven years as Division Chief of the Duke Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Division where he successfully implemented an upgrade of the program that has now grown into one of the top physical therapy programs in the United States. Prior to receiving his doctoral degree, he held clinical and senior management positions within the private rehabilitation sector in Ontario (Canada), and within international humanitarian aid and development agencies. Dr. Landry is a health policy and services researcher, and his area of study is the policy implications of the gap between available supply (financial and human resources) and increasing demand for rehabilitation and health services across the continuum of care. He is a Past-President of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a former Career Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). He lectures widely on policy and the political dynamics of rehabilitation, implications on people with disabilities, and is a provocative advocate for the moral, ethical, and economic necessity to ensure accessible and affordable rehabilitation services across the continuum of high, middle, and low-income countries. Dr. Landry is currently completing his Executive Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, where he is also participating in the Health Sector Management Certificate (HSM).
