The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is a tool developed by Dr. Sue Hignett and Dr. Lynn McAtamney which was published July 1998 in the Applied Ergonomics journal. This measurement device was designed to be a tool that health and safety professionals could use in the field to assess posture techniques in the workplace.
Ergonomic hazards are physical conditions that may pose a risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system due to poor ergonomics. These hazards include awkward or static postures, high forces, repetitive motion, or insufficient rest breaks activities. The risk of injury is often magnified when multiple factors are present.
The journal was established in 2000 and is published by Taylor & Francis. The co-editors are Waldemar Karwowski (University of Central Florida) and Dylan Schmorrow (Chief Scientist, Soar Technology). [2] TIES publishes 6 issues per year, [1] and it is affiliated with the International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics. [1]
Static postures (e.g., maintaining fixed positions for a long time) Repeated or continual exposure to one or more of these factors initially may lead to fatigue and discomfort. Over time, injury to the back, shoulders, hands, wrists, or other parts of the body may occur.
Reviews of Human Factors and Ergonomics is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal that covers research in the field of Ergonomics. It was established in 2005 and is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus.
In 2008, to mark the journal's 50th year of publication, a special issue of "Ergonomics" (Volume 51, Number 1) was published, guest edited by Neville A. Stanton and Rob Stammers, covering the history of the society and including a re-print of the Ergonomics Research Society lecture given by Sir Frederick Bartlett in 1962.

Fitts's law (often cited as Fitts' law) is a predictive model of human movement primarily used in human–computer interaction and ergonomics. The law predicts that the time required to rapidly move to a target area is a function of the ratio between the distance to the target and the width of the target. [ 1 ]
