Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), 10/18/09. Expires 10/18/14 DISSERTATION

Quantification of the exposure-response relationships of the primary risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome Quantified exposure levels of occupational, personal, and psychosocial risk factors for CTS in a catfish processing facility

utilizing various techniques. Equations were developed using regression and fuzzy logic to predict risk associated with diagnoses and symptomology of CTS within this working population. Various accuracy measures were assessed and the models validated using exposures from other work tasks in the facility.
