Flashcards
0/15
Neutral Posture
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.
Repetitive Movements
Minimizing repetitive movements in design helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and increases work efficiency.
Reach Zones
Designing reach zones to be within the user's easy reach helps prevent overextension and improves safety and comfort.
Workstation Height
Proper workstation height helps maintain a neutral posture, prevents strain on the limbs and back, and is key for comfortable and safe work environments.
Task Lighting
Task lighting provides adequate light for specific tasks to reduce eye strain and increase visibility, thus enhancing productivity and reducing errors.
Feedback and Response Time
Designing for clear and timely feedback on user actions can reduce frustration and errors, aiding in the user experience.
Work Breaks
Scheduled work breaks prevent fatigue and cumulative trauma disorders, promoting long-term well-being and productivity.
Anti-Fatigue Matting
Anti-fatigue matting is used in environments where users stand for long periods to reduce leg and back fatigue and improve worker comfort.
Keyboard and Mouse Design
An ergonomically designed keyboard and mouse aim to minimize strain on hands and wrists, reducing the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Adjustability
Adjustability in design allows for a range of user body sizes and preferences, ensuring comfort and reducing the risk of ergonomic-related issues.
Force Exertion
Designs should minimize the need for excessive force exertion to reduce the risk of injury and ensure user comfort and safety.
Clearance and Space
Sufficient clearance and space around equipment and in work areas prevent restrictive movements and facilitate accessibility, contributing to safety and comfort.
Visual Ergonomics
Visual ergonomics addresses the impact of lighting, monitor placement, and other visual elements to prevent eye strain and enhance user focus.
Control Accessibility
Controls should be placed within easy reach and require minimal effort to operate, reducing fatigue and improving overall usability.
Material Handling
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.
