Description
Occupational biomechanics are concerned with physiological loads and stresses placed on the human body as a result of work-related tasks. By thoroughly examining and explaining the mechanics and anatomy of human movement, the text provides the reader with an understanding of such principles in order to permit the design of ergonomically "friendly" work routines, instruments, equipment, and environments. It describes the mechanical side of ergonomics.
