The term Ergonomics is derived from two Greek words "Ergos" meaning work and "nomos" meaning laws. So, Ergonomics in simple term means "laws of work". It actually concerns with optimizing the relations between a worker and his work of environment. Ergonomics is a science that studies workplaces with the aim to optimise the interaction between the worker, equipment, task and the environment (Campbell in Ergonomics in otorhinolaryngology. Ent and audiology news, 2024) Workplace ergonomics is a poorly understood subject when it comes to medical professionals. Musculo- skeletal disorders (MSD) are one of the commonest occupational health problem for surgeons. Though, Ergonomics apply to every surgeon/medical professional, this article will in specifically discuss the importance of understanding ergonomics for ENT (otolaryngologists) surgeons.
“人体工程学”一词源自两个希腊词，“Ergos”意为工作，“nomos”意为规律。所以，简单来说，人体工程学就是“工作的规律”。它实际上关注的是优化工人与其工作环境之间的关系。人体工程学是一门研究工作场所的科学，旨在优化工人、设备、任务和环境之间的相互作用（坎贝尔著《耳鼻喉科学中的人体工程学。耳鼻喉科与听力学新闻》，2024年）。说到医学专业人员，工作场所人体工程学是一个鲜为人知的主题。肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）是外科医生最常见的职业健康问题之一。虽然人体工程学适用于每一位外科医生/医学专业人员，但本文将具体讨论耳鼻喉科（耳鼻喉科医生）外科医生理解人体工程学的重要性。
