Abstract:

A study was conducted using patients with musculoskeletal disorders, to aid with the development of a model system for providing work place ergonomic accommodations for elderly and disabled workers. An ergonomic assessment module was added to the multi-disciplinary quantified functional assessment of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Thirty-eight patients (22 female, 16 male) were interviewed by an ergonomist. All of these patients had chronic back pain and other musculoskeletal problems such as leg, head, neck, shoulder or hand pain. The ergonomics module was a 30-minute interview in w

Abstract:

When safety performance is characterized by high levels of strains, sprains and cumulative trauma injuries the need for ergonomics is clearly indicated. In addition, when workmanship defects and worker compensation costs are at an unacceptable rate the need for accelerated action is evident. When there is limited ergonomics orientation in a particular company, ergonomics cannot be prescribed as a cure-all. The program must enhance overall company safety, quality and productivity objectives. This paper describes an ergonomics-oriented safety improvement program based on these conditions, a benc

OBJECTIVEPrevious work from the authors has shown that hand ergonomics plays an important role in surgical psychomotor performance during virtual reality brain tumor resections. In the current study they propose a hypothetical model that integrates the human and task factors at play during simulated brain tumor resections to better understand the hand ergonomics needed for optimal safety and efficiency. They hypothesize that 1) experts (neurosurgeons), compared to novices (residents and medical students), spend a greater proportion of their time in direct contact with critical tumor areas; 2)

Abstract:

The proliferation of medical device technology is profound. Hospitals and clinics traditionally “housed” medical technologies and the technological environments (ICUs, ORs, and ERs). Today, medical technologies have transferred into homes (hospice care, home chemotherapy, and WEB TV cardiac rehabilitation). While the goal of macroergonomics is to fully harmonize work systems at both the macro-and microergonomic levels, it fails to address the service interfaces of a community based health care system.

Ergonomics in the operating room (OR) is an unsolved problem for users and engineers. Deficiencies of the OR as a workplace cause potential hazards for the patient as well as for the OR staff. To detect those conditions a checklist for the OR was developed and as a first step evaluated in a German hospital. Medical technical devices were found to be lacking in usability due to such as unclear symbols, impracticability, hindrances and insufficient ease in handling. Also the positioning of devices in the OR shows ergonomic problems that in most cases necessitates an unavoidable awkward working p

With an increasing employment of technology the medical quality of treatment may rise. But, at the same time, the complexity of the medical equipment rises as well. This leads to an increase of the required interactions between user and technology. Therefore, a higher work loading for the medical and nursing personal is consequential. New requirements to the safety and the quality of use of medical devices and systems result from the increasing employment of technology.

This article profiles the product development process and sciences used to design these advanced diagnostics systems to be human-centered. Systems are becoming smarter, faster and friendlier for users. Specific benefits are identified along with the methods, challenges and design tradeoffs to achieve them. Users of diagnostic devices will be able to recognize and understand the impact of

Abstract:

Ergonomics involves evaluating a product or process (what exists), comparing it with related scientific literature (what works), and using the information to re-design the product or process. The new design seeks to match known information about human capabilities and limitations with the product or process requirements in order to improve the ease-of-use, efficiency, productivity, or safety. Ergonomics is applied in a variety of settings including aeronautics, health care, training, construction and other industries. Within education settings, ergonomics is typically applied on a micro level,

Abstract:

Microscope users can become fatigued by awkward sitting positions and complicated controls. This affects many users in microbiology, cytology, hematology, and pathology labs. In recent years researchers have conducted studies to examine microscope ergonomic issues for users with various body heights. This research is critical because data from occupational and medical literature clearly indicate that occupational-based injuries at the workplace are common where microscopes are used extensively. Muscular-skeletal conditions, including shoulder, neck, and back aches, are the most prevalent injur

Abstract:

The medical manufacturing industry is currently one of the sectors with great potential growth in Malaysia, which offers numerous job opportunities to local and foreign workers. The growing proportion of workers in this industry means that a large number of workers are potentially exposed to ergonomic risk factors at the workplace, which may consequently affect their health. Thus, this study was carried out is to investigate the ergonomic risk factors and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among male workers in a medical manufacturing company in northern Malaysia.

Abstract:

Mobile medical environments, such as ground and air ambulances, have unique design challenges that can affect safe and effective patient care. Members of a provincial human factors department completed five evaluation projects on the interior design of these environments, resulting in the generation of more than 250 design recommendations. An inductive content analysis informed the development of a list of human factors guidelines for designing various mobile medical environments. Guidelines address equipment and supplies, patient visibility and monitoring, practitioner and patient comfort and
