Etymology of Ergonomics
Ergo: work from GreekNomos: laws, customsErgonomics is etymologically laws or
customs of workBut we need a less abstruse definition in
order to understand ergonomics in the contemporary world

Definition of Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the science of evaluating and designing products and work environments around the strengths and limitations of the human user in order to:Maximize occupational healthMaximize ease of use Maintain productivity of user

Seat to Bulkhead Distance
Insufficient distance may not allow driver to recline seatback sufficiently

![Page 14: Ergonomics for senior design 10 3-12](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/558b5aaad8b42a27478b464e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Recommendation
Recommended minimum seat to bulkhead distance is 15.7 in.
Seat dimensions taken from database of 27 site visit vehicles
14
![Page 15: Ergonomics for senior design 10 3-12](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/558b5aaad8b42a27478b464e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Recommendation
At least 42 in. height from Seat Ref. Point to cab ceiling
Ht from cab floor to SRP can vary – reason to use SRP
Based on 99th percentile male utility workers

Pedal Location
Insufficient distance between brake and accelerator Toe stuck under pedal Boot overlaps both
pedals Workers have larger
feet than gen. pop Some workers drive
vehicles without boots
16
This cab has sufficient distance between brake and accelerator but not between accelerator and hump.

Recommendation
EPRI 2010 anthropometry study: 99th percentile shoe size was 14D
2 in. clearance added to ½ of boot width
Center of accelerator used to accommodate big boots (overlap with big boots and narrow accelerator)

Epidemiology & Keyboards
Tittirandonda, Burastero, and Rempel (1999) summaryConsistent relationship between
computer-related risk factors and MSDs, specifically sustained awkward postures of wrist
This presentation will address how alternative keyboard designs can reduce awkward postures risk factor
![Page 24: Ergonomics for senior design 10 3-12](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/558b5aaad8b42a27478b464e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How Do MSDs’ Risk Factors Relate to Conventional Computer Keyboards? Posture
Extended wrist Ulnarly deviated wrist
Repetition 3 key strokes per second Up to 50,000 to 100 000 key strokes
per day
Force Minimal forces but exerted many times

Biomechanical Consequences of a Deviated Wrist Position
Friction of tendons across the carpal tunnel Requires more muscular effort due to friction and contact forces May lead to tenosynovitis (friction causes irritation of tendons,
leading to inflammation, pain and swelling) May lead to carpal tunnel
syndrome (swelling in the carpal tunnel leads to increased carpal tunnel pressure)
![Page 28: Ergonomics for senior design 10 3-12](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/558b5aaad8b42a27478b464e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Carpal Tunnel Pressure
Pressure against median nerve in carpal tunnel could cause carpal tunnel syndrome
Pressure against tendons and their sheaths could cause tenosynovitis
![Page 29: Ergonomics for senior design 10 3-12](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/558b5aaad8b42a27478b464e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
