human engineering

ergonomics /er·go·nom·ics/ (er″go-nom´iks) the science relating to humans and their work, including the factors affecting the efficient use of human energy.

er·go·nom·ics (ûr

-n

ks)

The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort.

ergonomics

[ur′gōnom′iks]

Etymology: Gk, ergon, work, nomos, law

a scientific discipline devoted to the study and analysis of human work, especially as it is affected by individual anatomic, psychologic, and other human characteristics. ergonomic, adj.

ergonomics (er·g

·n

ˑ·miks),

n applied study of psychology, anatomy, and physiology relating to people and work environments; includes introduction of biomechanically suppor-tive equipment.

ergoloid mesylate

(ur´gōloid mes´ilāt´),
n brand names: Hydergine LC, Gerimal;
drug class: ergot alkaloids;
action: may increase cerebral metabolism and blood flow;
uses: senile dementia, Alzheimer's dementia, primary progressive dementia.

ergonomics,

n the study of workplace design and the physical and psychologic impact it has on workers. It is about the fit between people, their work activities, equipment, work systems, and environment to ensure that workplaces are safe, comfortable and efficient and that productivity is not compromised.

ergonomics

the science of relating the physiological and anatomical characteristics of the working or racing animal to the physical aspects of its working environment.

ergonomics

Occupation medicine The formal study of work situations, which attempts to evaluate, and if necessary, reconfigure a workplace by taking into account the anatomic and psychological variables of those working in the environment. Cf Ergogenic engineering, Human factor.
