Answer 1

This scenario is an example of an ergonomic injury. Ergonomic injuries often occur from repetitive motions, improper lifting techniques, or poor workstation setup, leading to strain or injury in muscles, tendons, and joints. In this case, the technician's shoulder injury from repeatedly pulling down the x-ray machine is consistent with this type of injury.
