The key principles of ergonomics include:
- Designing tasks, tools, and equipment to fit the capabilities and limitations of the human body.
- Maintaining neutral postures to minimize strain on muscles, tendons, and joints.
- Providing adequate support and adjustability to accommodate different body sizes and preferences.
- Reducing repetitive motions and excessive force to prevent overuse injuries.
- Promoting proper body mechanics and movement patterns to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
