New dimensions are added to this science, as ergonomics is spreading from factory floors to office spaces. Ergonomics with regard to human-computer interface was a burning issue in the west a few years ago. Studies were conducted and action was taken to mitigate the problems caused.

But if one has the symptoms of "Repetitive Strain Injury" regularly while using a computer, then one should go to the doctor immediately. Ergonomic problems cannot be completely avoided. They can, though be reduced by a better work station and exercise.
