This book reports on the state of the art in physical ergonomics
and is concerned with the design of products, process, services,
and work systems to assure their productive, safe, and satisfying
use by people. With focus on the human body's responses to
physical and physiological work demands, repetitive strain
injuries from repetition, vibration, force, and posture are the
most common types of issues examined, along with their design
implications. The book explores a wide range of topics in
physical ergonomics, which includes the consequences of
repetitive motion, materials handling, workplace safety, and
usability in the use of portable devices, design, working
postures, and the work environment. Mastering physical ergonomics
and safety engineering concepts is fundamental to the creation of
products and systems that people are able to use, as well as the
avoidance of stresses and minimization of the risk of accidents.
Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Physical
Ergonomics & Human Factors, held on July 27-31, 2016 in Walt
Disney World®, Florida, USA, the book provides readers with a
comprehensive view of the current challenges in Physical
Ergonomics, which are a critical aspect in the design of any
human-centered technological system, and factors influencing
human performance.
