An ergonomic assessment identifies ergonomic risk factors and provides solutions based ergonomic standards, considerations with respect to their reported medical condition/symptoms and best practices in ergonomics, anthropocentrics, personal preferences and described job functions.
Peak Kinesiology assesses office workstations and provides written recommendations to optimize the workstation configuration and reduce and/or eliminate repetitive strain symptoms. Moreover, an ergonomic assessment can optimize a workstation to improve work efficiency and comfort for employees suffering from other types of injuries or disabilities. On the spot adjustments of existing equipment, if required, are done at the time of the assessment as well to optimize the workstation.
