What is Ergonomics?Derived from the Greek…”ergos” meaning work and “nomos” the study of..literally the study of work.Ergonomics is the study of work including the tasks, the technology and the environment, in relation to human capabilities. In essence, it is fitting the job to the worker instead of vice versa.Ergonomics is a way to work smarter—not harder—by designing tools, equipment, work areas and tasks to fit the individual worker. Leads to improved productivity, reduced injuries, and greater worker satisfaction.

Ergonomic Design Goals• Improve job process by eliminating unnecessary
tasks, steps & effort • Reduce potential for overexertion injury• Minimize mental/physical fatigue potential• Leverage workers’ skills/knowledge of their jobs to
re-design work to increase their satisfaction, comfort, morale and fulfillment

Consequences of Poor Design♦ Discomfort → Chronic Pain♦ Accidents → Injuries
♦ Fatigue → Increased Errors♦ Work-Related Musculoskeletal
Disorders (WMSDs)− Low back pain**most common**− Tendonitis− Epicondylitis− Bursitis− Carpal tunnel syndrome( CTS)− Tumors

WMSDs: Definition
Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs): disorders of muscles, nerves, ligaments, tendons, joints, cartilage, and/or spinal discs (examples: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
Gradual chronic development rather than acute episodeWork-relatedAlso known as Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs)or Repetitive Motion Injuries (RMIs)

Goal: Avoid static and/or awkward posturesPotential Strategies:♦ Position patient back far enough so that their
mouth is at the operator’s elbow. Elbows are elevated no more than 30 degrees.
♦ Adjust patient chair when accessing different quadrants.
♦ Turn the patient’s head as needed♦ Alternate between standing and sitting—
frequent rest breaks every 20-30 mins.♦ On-site stretching exercises

ERGONOMICS 1 SUMMARY
Good ergonomic design of tools, processes and furniture DOES improve personnel comfort, health, morale, productivity and readiness.Students and faculty working as part of a team to improve posture & positioning and maintain good work habitsIt’s critical to seek prompt medical aid for symptoms of ergonomic stress / WMSDs, CTDs
