Document Summary
Kinesiologists have an advantage in ergonomics because of two things: They know ergonomics: ergonomics is changing the job (selecting tools, changing reach distances, etc. , ergonomists know ergonomics as well, but what they don"t know is job coaching. Job coaching is coaching one to have a better ability to move their body. Great kinesiologists understand the mechanisms (pathophysiology/pathomechanics/pathoneurological) well enough to create exposures. Enable work places to do risk assessments. Put in place effective changes in large numbers of workplaces, and to change individual"s behaviour. There are tools that are associated with doing some of these things, to detect some of these disorders and risk factors. There is a government guideline that is so simple, many companies don"t use a kinesiologist in order to use this guideline . they do it themselves. Hazard identification: through extreme environment or , by the interaction of the person with that environment.
