Abstract
Work‐related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) commonly occur among student and qualified sonographers. While students may be educated about preventative techniques, transfer of this knowledge to practice may not occur. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the theoretical knowledge final‐year students had of some common WRMSD prevention techniques, and the use of these techniques on clinical placement.
