Ergotron has expanded its industry-leading portfolio of carts and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare market, with the addition of the new StyleView® Sit-Stand Enclosure. The new Sit-Stand Enclosure brings ergonomic sit-stand computing comfort to caregivers accessing or inputting data within traditional hospital wall mount workstation settings.
Presenting caregivers with a new level of workplace flexibility and low-profile aesthetics, the StyleView Enclosure helps enhance patient and caregiver’s overall experience by enabling caregivers to easily sit or stand while accessing critical patient data—introducing greater efficiency and accuracy into treatment facilitation.
“Hospitals are realizing the importance of in-room computing but recognize the issues associated with finding solutions that meet the demands of the caregiver like space and NFPA requirements,” said Steve Reinecke, senior global director of healthcare at Ergotron.
Sufferings from neck pain, back pain and many other work related musculoskeletal disorders like tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow are very common among many corporate officials and workers at different office and industries. This is specifically a problem in garments industries, tanneries and textile factories in Bangladesh.
All these musculoskeletal problems could lead to further bad consequences in terms of physical problems, productivity and emotional well-being for the workers. Accidents at workplaces affect many more lives each year. This could be reduced significantly following an ergonomic approach facilitated by an occupational therapist.
What is ergonomics?
Ergonomics is the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of employees. A practical approach to ergonomics considers the match between the person, the equipment they use, the work processes and the work environment.
