Ergonomic products are designed around the coordination of "human - product - environment". They can be divided into several categories according to usage scenarios and functions. The core is to fit the human physiological structure and behavioral habits, so as to reduce fatigue and damage.
1. Office Ergonomic Products
This type of products focuses on long - term office scenarios, relieving musculoskeletal pressure caused by sitting for a long time and repetitive movements, and is currently the most widely used category.
Specific Products | Core Design Features | Target Groups |
Ergonomic Chairs | With adjustable headrests, lumbar pillows (to support the natural curvature of the lumbar spine), armrests (height and angle adjustable), the seat depth is suitable for different heights, and the backrest can be reclined to fit the spinal curve | Programmers, copywriters, designers and other people who sit for a long time |
Height - Adjustable Desks | Can be adjusted in height electrically or manually, enabling alternating sitting and standing work, avoiding poor lower limb blood circulation caused by long - term sitting | All office workers, especially those who are obese or have lumbar discomfort |
Ergonomic Keyboards and Mice | The tilt angle of the keyboard conforms to the natural drooping posture of the arms, and the radian of the mouse fits the palm, reducing wrist bending (to prevent "mouse hand") | Office workers who use computers frequently |
Monitor Stands | Can adjust the height, distance and angle, so that the line of sight is level with the center of the screen (to avoid cervical pressure caused by lowering or raising the head) | People who look at the screen for a long time |
2. Home Ergonomic Products
Integrated into daily home life, they take both comfort and health into account, covering scenarios such as rest, eating, and housework.
Specific Products | Core Design Features | Typical Application Scenarios |
Ergonomic Mattresses/Pillows | Mattresses provide differentiated support according to the weight distribution of various parts of the human body (such as support for the waist and shoulders), and pillows fit the curvature of the cervical spine | People with poor sleep quality and cervical/lumbar discomfort |
Kitchen Ergonomic Tools | Curved - handle knives (reducing grip burden), height - adjustable vegetable washing basins (avoiding bending down), hanging kitchen utensil racks (within easy reach) | Housewives and people who cook frequently |
Bathroom Anti - slip Products | Anti - slip floor mats (increasing friction), shower stools (convenient for the elderly/pregnant women to take a shower while sitting), handrails (assisting in getting up) | The elderly, pregnant women and people with limited mobility |
3. Wearable and Rehabilitation Ergonomic Products
Through close - fitting design or auxiliary support, they correct postures, reduce pressure on specific parts, and some also have rehabilitation functions.
Specific Products | Core Design Features | Main Functions |
Posture Correction Belts | Elastic fabric wraps around the waist or back, reminding users to keep their chests out and backs straight with a slight pull, avoiding hunchback | Students, teenagers and people with poor posture |
Ergonomic Backpacks | With widened shoulder straps to reduce pressure, the carrying system fits the back curve, and the weight is distributed to the waist (instead of relying solely on the shoulders) | Students and commuters (when carrying heavy loads) |
Rehabilitation Aids | Such as ergonomic crutches (with handles fitting the hands and adjustable height), wheelchairs (with seat cushions curved to fit the buttocks, reducing the risk of pressure sores) | Post - operative rehabilitation patients and disabled people |
4. Industrial and Special - scene Ergonomic Products
For professional scenarios such as industrial production, medical treatment and sports, they need to meet the needs of high - intensity operations or special operations.
Specific Products | Core Design Features | Application Scenarios |
Industrial Operation Tools | Such as wrenches that conform to the grip angle of the palm, electric drills with shock absorption devices, reducing hand vibration damage and muscle strain | Factory workers, mechanical maintenance personnel |
Medical Ergonomic Equipment | Operating tables can be adjusted at multiple angles (to fit the doctor's operating posture), and the height of the guardrail of the nursing bed is suitable for getting up needs | Hospital operating rooms and wards |
Sports Ergonomic Equipment | The insole of sports shoes is designed to support according to the arch type (to prevent damage from flat feet), and the cycling clothes reduce wind resistance and fit the body curve | Athletes and sports enthusiasts |
