Wikipedia Articles
- List of basic ergonomics topics - Ergonomics (also called human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data, and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance (definition adopted by the International ...
- Ergonomics - Ergonomics (or human factors) is the application of scientific information concerning humans to the design of objects, systems and environment for human use (definition adopted by the International Ergonomics Association in 2007). Ergonomics is commonly thought of as how companies design tasks and work areas to maximize the efficiency and ...
- Cognitive ergonomics - Cognitive Ergonomics studies cognition in work settings, in order to optimize human well-being and system performance. It is a subset of the larger field of human factors and ergonomics.
- Alphonse Chapanis - The American Alphonse Chapanis (1917-2002) was one of the founders of ergonomics, or human factors, the science of making design account for human characteristics. He was active in improving aviation safety around the time of World War II.
- Rohmert's law - Widely used in the human factors and ergonomics field, Rohmert's law states that the maximum force one's muscles can exert decreases exponentially from the time one begins continuously exerting the said force. It is commonly used to calculate "maximum holding time" for any particular task.
