Klappentext zu „Occupational Therapy and Ergonomics “
Occupational Therapy and ErgonomicsApplying Ergonomic Principles to Everyday Occupation in the Home and at Work
The application of ergonomic principles is a key dimension to holistic occupational therapy practice. This book integrates theory and research from the ergonomic literature and applies it to clinical occupational therapy practice.
The field of ergonomics has broadened greatly recently and this textbook reflects that breadth. It incorporates ergonomic principles into interventions and preventive strategies in home, work, leisure and school environments, and includes psychosocial aspects such as stress management. Case studies to illustrate applications in the widely differing fields covered are included.
The book is based on the authors' experience in four contrasting fields: Franklin Stein has taught a student level course in ergonomics for ten years and has also taught advanced courses in the field. Ingrid Soderback has used ergonomics in working with clients in their homes. Susan Cutler has applied ergonomic principles as a consultant in the school systems. Barbara Larson has used ergonomics working with corporations in developing healthy work environments.
The book will be of interest to all occupational therapists, whether recently qualified or experienced, and will also serve as a key textbook for occupational therapy students.
