Ergonomics is the relation between humans and the surrounding elements, also known as human engineering. When designing it is important to know all of your clients measurements. If an office was being designed, the heights of the table and distance from keyboard should be at a proper distance and height to help with posture. If the table is too high or low it can cause strain on your clients back or may even be uncomfortable. Posture has a negative correlation with stress as well. Having everything at the correct placement can reduce, neck aches, bad posture, stress, and sore wrists.
Anthropometrics is the measurement and average size while ergonomics pertains to the measurements and use of a design. When the two are combined, a product is created for clients that should be just right. To read more about Anthropometrics, check out my last blog post.
