Ergonomics considers how the body works
and functions in the strongest and most efficient
manner; then finds solutions that will fit the person,
promote health and wellness.

most efficient posture, increase the likelihood of an
injury occurring.
Awkward postures, repetition and force are actions that
could lead to injury or illness, and are considered
ergonomic risk factors.
