Ergonomics forRehabilitation ProfessionalsEdited by

Shrawan KumarUniversity of North Texas, Fort Worth, USA

Despite the distinct differences between the dis-ciplines of ergonomics and rehabilitation, theyinvolve the same issues, although at differentends of the spectrum. Ergonomics forRehabilitation Professionals explores theirphilosophies and goals and their parallel, diver-gent, and complementary aspects. It traces theorigin of each field and examines the role ofergonomics in rehabilitation.

Features:

• Discusses a new approach to rehabilitationthat consciously integrates ergonomics withrehabilitation

• Provides insight into localized muscle fatigueand its consequences on overall performance

• Reviews the biomechanics of upper extremities,shoulder and neck, and lower back

• Examines how to incorporate the effects ofdaily activities and their biomechanical consequences into the design of ergonomicinterventions

• Advocates universal design and describes howthese concepts can be integrated into a practical solution

• Delineates the role of Physical DemandAnalysis in the context of rehabilitation

Addressing theoretical underpinnings with scien-tific rigor, the book covers a broad range of topics,always emphasizing design in rehabilitation. Thisselection of topics from two vast and seeminglydiverse disciplines provides the tools for settingrealistic goals and developing the strategies toachieve them.
