Ergonomics - Scandinavian Physiotherapy Center, Dubai

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing and arranging workspaces to support the natural needs of the human body. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly one-third of work-related absences are associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Among these, back pain accounts for approximately 60% of cases, followed by neck and wrist pain.

At its core, ergonomics can be described as the study of how people interact with their working environment. More specifically, an ergonomist (pronounced like economist) designs or modifies work conditions to fit the worker—rather than forcing the worker to adapt to the workspace. The primary objective is to reduce discomfort and minimize the risk of injury caused by work-related activities.

In practice, workplace ergonomics may involve evaluating a job’s tasks and physical demands, then designing workstations and tools that suit the individual. This can also include the use of ergonomically designed equipment, such as supportive chairs, adjustable desks, and specialized keyboards and mice, all aimed at improving comfort, safety, and productivity.
