Ergonomics is the study of matching job requirements and environment to the worker to maximize efficiency, quality, and quantity of work while minimizing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD), fatigue, and overexertion. An assessment is crucial for each job and should consider physical and psychosocial factors that impact the ergonomic outcomes. The assessment is usually initiated by a primary care clinician in response to the common complaints described above. If managed appropriately, work satisfaction increases, and most patients return to work as normal. Of course, adjustments are possible depending on a patient’s changing employment, which may be informed by previous outcomes. This activity outlines the components of ergonomics and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in maintaining proper ergonomics for their patients. Participating clinicians also review occupation-specific recommendations to enhance ergonomics, specifically in healthcare.
