An ergonomic industrial workstation is designed to improve worker productivity and reduce over-exertion injuries. A comprehensive ergonomic industrial workstation design methodology based on anthropometry, human strength and cognitive engineering will be devleoped, especially for multiple or team of operators engaged in performing industrial tasks. The research will be performed in industry (Pratt and Whitney, Halifax, Canada). Based on this case study, a generalized methodology will be developed. The steps that will be followed are: (1) job analysis - work observation and activity sampling, (2) work design analysis - use of graphical charts, (3) link analysis - involving communication, control and movement links, (4) ergonomic analysis - anthropometry: adequate posture, work height, reach areas/envelopes, lateral clearance and visual requirements; human strength: operator strength capability and determination of strength profile; cognitive engineering or cognitive task analysis: cognition and performance of individuals and teams, systematic observation of operator's actions and relation to the components of the work system, (5) use of existing and newly developed anthropometric and human strength data for performing industrial tasks. Experimental research will be performed to determine human strength for paraplegic male and female populations. The research methodology has already been developed. This research will be extended to determine human strength of able-bodied population in the confined workspaces comprising of supine, stooping, squatting and kneeling postures. A new ergonomic wheelchair with unique propulsion system, Das Ergonomic Wheelchair or DEW was designed, constructed and tested successfully. The propulsion system was invented to convert the reciprocating push-pull horizontal motion, generating a horizontal force into a rotational force in the rear wheels. The redesign of the manual wheelchair will substantially reduce the excessive stress/strain on the shoulders, elbows and wrists and improve human efficiency. Further research will be conducted to improve the propulsion system and market research is in progress to explore commercialization possibility.

符合人体工程学的工业工作站旨在提高工人的生产力并减少过度劳动伤害。 基于人体测量法，人类力量和认知工程的全面人体工程学工业工作站设计方法将被剥夺，尤其是对于从事执行工业任务的多个运营商或团队而言。 该研究将在工业中进行（Pratt和Whitney，加拿大哈利法克斯）。 基于此案例研究，将开发一般的方法。 将要遵循的步骤是：（1）工作分析 - 工作观察和活动抽样，（2）工作设计分析 - 使用图形图表，（3）链接分析 - 涉及沟通，控制和运动链路，（4）人体工程学分析 - 人体工程学分析 - 足够的姿势，工作高度，工作高度，到达区域/范围/范围/范围/范围/信封，清除和视觉要求；人力力量：操作者的力量能力和强度特征的确定；认知工程或认知任务分析：个人和团队的认知和表现，对操作员的行为的系统观察以及与工作系统组成部分的关系，（5）使用现有和新开发的人体测量和人类力量数据来执行工业任务。 将进行实验研究，以确定截瘫男性和女性人群的人体力量。 研究方法已经开发了。 这项研究将扩展，以确定包括仰卧，弯腰，蹲下和跪下姿势的狭窄工作空间中健美人群的人体力量。 DAS符合人体工程学轮椅或露水的新型人体工程学轮椅已成功设计，构造和测试。 发明了推进系统，以转换往复式推力水平运动，从而使水平力变成后轮的旋转力。 手动轮椅的重新设计将大大减轻肩膀，肘部和手腕上的过度压力/应变，并提高人体效率。 将进行进一步的研究以改善推进系统，而市场研究正在进行探索商业化的可能性。
