Neutral Posture

StarStarStarStar

Neutral posture minimizes the strain on the body by keeping the joints naturally aligned. It is essential in design to prevent repetitive strain injuries and improve productivity.

StarStarStarStar

Repetitive Movements

StarStarStarStar

Minimizing repetitive movements in design helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and increases work efficiency.

StarStarStarStar

Reach Zones

StarStarStarStar

Designing reach zones to be within the user's easy reach helps prevent overextension and improves safety and comfort.

StarStarStarStar

Workstation Height

StarStarStarStar

Proper workstation height helps maintain a neutral posture, prevents strain on the limbs and back, and is key for comfortable and safe work environments.

StarStarStarStar

Task Lighting

StarStarStarStar

Task lighting provides adequate light for specific tasks to reduce eye strain and increase visibility, thus enhancing productivity and reducing errors.

StarStarStarStar

Feedback and Response Time

StarStarStarStar

Designing for clear and timely feedback on user actions can reduce frustration and errors, aiding in the user experience.

StarStarStarStar

Work Breaks

StarStarStarStar

Scheduled work breaks prevent fatigue and cumulative trauma disorders, promoting long-term well-being and productivity.

StarStarStarStar

Anti-Fatigue Matting

StarStarStarStar

Anti-fatigue matting is used in environments where users stand for long periods to reduce leg and back fatigue and improve worker comfort.

StarStarStarStar

Keyboard and Mouse Design

StarStarStarStar

An ergonomically designed keyboard and mouse aim to minimize strain on hands and wrists, reducing the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

StarStarStarStar

Adjustability

StarStarStarStar

Adjustability in design allows for a range of user body sizes and preferences, ensuring comfort and reducing the risk of ergonomic-related issues.

StarStarStarStar

Force Exertion

StarStarStarStar

Designs should minimize the need for excessive force exertion to reduce the risk of injury and ensure user comfort and safety.

StarStarStarStar

Clearance and Space

StarStarStarStar

Sufficient clearance and space around equipment and in work areas prevent restrictive movements and facilitate accessibility, contributing to safety and comfort.

StarStarStarStar

Visual Ergonomics

StarStarStarStar

Visual ergonomics addresses the impact of lighting, monitor placement, and other visual elements to prevent eye strain and enhance user focus.

StarStarStarStar

Control Accessibility

StarStarStarStar

Controls should be placed within easy reach and require minimal effort to operate, reducing fatigue and improving overall usability.

StarStarStarStar

Material Handling

StarStarStarStar

The design should facilitate proper material handling techniques to reduce the strain on the body and prevent injuries caused by lifting and moving heavy objects.
