Ergonomics | DMA Staging Content Management System

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Ergonomics studies the way humans interact with the man-made instruments and systems that surround them. Designers use ergonomics by applying scientific theory to industrial design to make furniture and other equipment more efficient, comfortable, and suitable for the human body. In order to achieve this goal, designers use an ergonome, or model of the human figure, to help them apply the right proportions to their designs. An ergonome allows designers to better understand the way people will interact with the objects they encounter.
