Ergonomics

What does an ergonomics expert look like?
Evolution has naturally made some people experts on ergonomics. The rest of us have to study, research and educate ourselves. As we do this, we discover that not everything that's called ergonomic is ergonomic. The word "ergonomics" can easily be misused. And not everyone who uses the word is necessarily an expert.

What does ergonomics involve?
Ergonomics is the science of optimizing the interplay between people and the environment according to the principle "adapting the work to the person". It is necessary to take into account each person's natural preconditions, as well as his or her limitations, when designing tools, working methods and workplaces.

Lindstrom Ergo on a scientific basis
Each time you grip a tool, you are putting 42 different muscles to work. By subjecting yourself to the strain this causes on a daily basis, you risk overexertion, pain or numbness in parts of the hand by using incorrectly designed tools. The constant repetition of some actions causes strain even if they do not feel particularly strenuous at the time.
The design of ergonomic tools within Lindstrom is based on a scientifically recognized 11-point program. This program covers facts and experiences gathered from users, ergonomists, industrial designers, research and development departments as well as extensive testing and trials together with end-users of our tools.
This method is unique within the tool industry. And to ensure that you can always see which tools have been developed according to this program, each one is marked with the ERGO^® symbol.
