Positioning Assessment
Home Ergonomic Assessments to Improve Poor Positioning
Ergonomics is defined by the study of the relation of man to the environment in which he works and the application of anatomical, physiological, psychological, and engineering knowledge to the problems involved. Position is defined by the way in which something is placed and the arrangement of body parts. We are so busy going about our day that we do not realize that the positioning of our bodies within our environment is a huge component of how our bodies can function in space. The smallest change in our postures while we perform daily activities can make a huge difference and may even decrease our pain, discomfort, and dysfunction. Repetitive poor positioning of our body can lead to:
​
-
Asymmetrical alignment
-
Sub-optimal positioning of joints which can lead to stiffness, decreased mobility, decreased
bio-mechanical rhythm
-
Over-shortening of muscles which can lead to tightness, spasticity, abnormal movement, and pain
-
Over-lengthening of muscles which can lead to weakness and instability
-
Stress on our tendons
Ergonomic Assessment
Since we come to you, we have the benefit of assessing your daily environment to ensure that it is set up in the most efficient and safe way. Some of the common spaces we assess include:
​
-
Work space
-
Kitchen and dining room
-
Your bedroom
-
Your living room
-
Your car
​
We can also assess your positioning while you:
​
-
Dine, cook, clean
-
Drive or sit in your car
-
Sleep
-
Watch Television
-
Read
-
Perform other daily activities around your house
​
After we assess, we provide recommendations on how you can adapt your environment and what tools you can use to adjust your positioning during your daily activities. Remember, the smallest adjustment can make the biggest difference!
