GET TO KNOW ABOUT WORK PLACE ERGONOMY





Ergonomics is the science that deals with the healthy style of doing work. Each and every work that any person perform may predispose him or her to various musculoskeletal,neurological,cardiac and circulatory disfunction.Prevention is always better than cure, so before the person is prone for this sort of occupational
Hazards its better to know about healthy style of performing the work. Health is wealth as all of us know; person needs the good health to perform work for wealth. So being a physical therapist I suggest each and every person to have the concern about how they work and is the pattern they are following for their work is really ergogenic?
