Work physiology is a term associated with industrial engineering that is concerned how the human body copes with physical stress, work strain, and the working environment. Experts in this field study the physical toll that work takes on a person in order to minimize it

1. The position of the body whether characteristic or assumed for a special purpose erect posture.

2. The pose of a model or artistic figure

Posture is defined as the attitude assumed by the body either with support during the course of muscular activity, or as a result of the coordinated action performed by a group of muscles working to maintain the stability.

# data[].attributes.body
Four types of posture

1. Standing

2. Sitting

3. Squatting

4. lying

# data[].attributes.body
When standing, keep these tips in mind: Stand straight and tall with your shoulders back. Keep your head level and in line with your body. Pull in your abdomen. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart.

# data[].attributes.body
If you sleep on your side, a firm pillow between your knees will prevent your upper leg from pulling your spine out of alignment and reduce stress on your hips and lower back. Pull your knees up slightly toward your chest. The pillow for your head should keep your spine straight.

# data[].attributes.body
Full squatting involves resting one's weight on the feet with the buttocks resting on the backs of the calves. It may be used as a posture for resting or working at ground level particularly where the ground is too dirty or wet to sit or kneel.

# data[].attributes.body
Sit up with your back straight and your shoulders back. Your buttocks should touch the back of your chair. All 3 normal back curves should be present while sitting. You can use a small, rolled-up towel or a lumbar roll to help maintain the normal curves in your back.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep the joints such as hips, knees and ankles open slightly (more than 90°).

Keep knee joints at or below the hip joints.

Keep ankle joints in front of the knees.

Keep a gap the width of three fingers between the back of the knee joint and the front edge of the chair.

The spinal column is a complex, intricate construct that includes a variety of nerves, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles woven together. The spine is designed to be remarkably strong, with a great deal of flexibility in the lower back and neck. The in-depth spinal column anatomy information presented in the following articles and videos provides a foundation for understanding different spine problems and treatment options

Injuring your spinal discs can be a painful and confusing experience. Your doctor may diagnose your pain as a bulging disc, herniated disc, ruptured disc, or even slipped disc.

# data[].attributes.body
Occurs when the disc pushes out of its normal position and begins to invade the space of your spinal nerves. The main difference between this stage and the other two is the wall of the disc doesn’t tear completely through yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Now the wall starts to tear through, eventually resulting in the nucleus tearing (leaking) through the wall.

# data[].attributes.body
Occurs when the nucleus pushes completely outside of the disc. The fluid leaks out of the outside region, this is also known as a sequestered disc.

OWAS Stand for  Ovako Working Posture Analysis System

General description and development of the method. OWAS identifies the most common work postures for the back (4 postures), arms (3 postures) and legs (7 postures), and the weight of the load handled (3 categories).

Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) is a method to identify unsafe work postures that cause musculoskeletal injuries, especially low back pain, and is developed to analyze and evaluate work postures used during work

REBA Stand for  Rapid Entire Body Assessment

The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method uses a systematic process to assess the risks of MSD (Musculoskeletal Disorders) for the whole body and the risks associated with ergonomic design associated with work. It is an observation method sensitive to MSDs in different varieties of tasks.

RULA Stand for  Rapid Upper Limb Assessment

The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was developed to “rapidly” evaluate the exposure of individual workers to ergonomic risk factors associated with upper extremity MSD.

The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) (RULA) (McAtamney and Corlett, 1993) is an ergonomics based workplace risk assessment tool that allows you to calculate the risk of musculoskeletal loading within the upper limbs and neck

A slipped disc can occur in any region of your spine: lumbar, thoracic, or cervical. But it’s more common for you to experience it in your lower or lumbar back region. Some individuals may not experience any symptoms,

Discs are actually composed of two parts: a tough outer portion and a soft inner core, and the configuration has been likened to that of a jelly doughnut.

Annulus Fibrous. The outer portion of the disc (annulus fibrous) is the tough circular exterior composed of concentric sheets of collagen fibers (lamellae) that surround the inner core.

Nucleus Pulposus. The inner core (nucleus pulposus) contains a loose network of fibers suspended in a mucoprotein gel.

The annular fibers hydraulically seal the gelatinous nucleus and evenly distribute pressure and force imposed on the structure.

The outer portion and inner core of the spinal disc fit together like two concentric cylinders. The outer portion of the disc has cartilaginous end-plates that firmly attach the disc to the vertebrae above and below.

At birth, approximately 80 percent of the disc is composed of water. In order for the disc to function properly, it must be well hydrated. The nucleus pulposus is the major carrier of the body's axial load and relies on its water-based contents to maintain strength and pliability.
