About

Dr. Lang is the director of the Ergonomics Lab based out of the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture (CCHSA) at the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. Her training is from the University of Saskatchewan (BSc, PhD), and the University of Waterloo (MSc). Throughout her training, she focussed on clinical biomechanics of the upper limb. Dr. Lang’s primary areas of interest are musculoskeletal health and biomechanics, definition of work-related function, and development of measurement and analysis methods. Her work aims to improve musculoskeletal health and quality of life by determining how biomechanics are related to work demands and injuries.
