Ergonomics.org - Posture, Movement And Ergonomics
Posture, movement and the crucial ingredient often neglected in the science of ergonomics today.
http://www.ergonomics.org/

Extractions: Here, however, we arrive at a serious problem - and a challenge to conventional ergonomic thinking: In order to put these recommendations into practice, a person would have to be a skilled observer of his or her own joint and muscle functioning and would have to be able to change his or her posture to a healthier one at will. No one develops this sort of highly refined sensory awareness without special training. Therefore, in order to derive the benefits of ergonomic research, we must learn how to observe our bodies in a new way.* Any attempt to improve workplace conditions can have only limited success if this issue is ignored.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergonomics

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Ergonomics (or human factors ) is the application of scientific information concerning objects, systems and environment for human use (definition adopted by the International Ergonomics Association in ). Ergonomics is commonly thought of as how companies design tasks and work areas to maximize the efficiency and quality of their employeesâ work. However, ergonomics comes into everything which involves people. Work systems, sports and leisure, health and safety should all embody ergonomics principles if well designed. It is the applied science of equipment design intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort. The field is also called biotechnology, human engineering, and human factors engineering. Ergonomic research is primarily performed by ergonomists who study human capabilities in relationship to their work demands. Information derived from ergonomists contributes to the design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and limitations of people (IEA, 2000). The IEA divides ergonomics broadly into three domains: Physical ergonomics deals with the human body's responses to physical and physiological stress.
