Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.
Ergonomics is employed to fulfill the two goals of health and productivity.
It is relevant in the design of such things as safe furniture and easy-to-use interfaces to machines.
Ergonomics is concerned with the ‘fit’ between people and their technological tools and environments.
It takes account of the user's capabilities and limitations in seeking to ensure that tasks, equipment, information and the environment suit each user.
