Lesson 6- The Office Environment

Lesson Notes:

This sixth lesson focuses on the branch of office ergonomics. This branch of ergonomics has become heavily focused on computer work within the last 20 years as the rapid development of technology, and its usage in the workplace, has led to  an increase in the number of repetition, force, and posture based injuries. This chapter will explain a number of concepts that you should find helpful when evaluating a patient. Some of the concepts touched upon include easy-touch zones, work-flow based office design, and photometry.
