Ergonomics

What is Ergonomics?

Back ache, chronic wrist pain and/or eye strain may be just some symptoms that people can experience from improper body positioning when using computers and other electronic devices, lifting heavy objects or any repetitive body motion required as part of someone's job or living situation.

Ergonomics is a discipline which focuses on alleviating these problems by arranging the environment to fit the person in it.  When ergonomics is applied correctly in an environment, visual and physical comfort is significantly increased while fatigue is distinctly lessened.
