The document summarizes key points from a Wellness Day presentation at Brock University about maintaining optimal health. It discusses how health is more than the absence of illness, and involves physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being. It outlines factors like fitness, exercise, posture, smoking, obesity, alcohol, drugs, work-life balance, and stress that can impact health. It emphasizes that aging alone does not cause health issues, and recommends setting goals and surrounding oneself with supportive people to stay motivated in maintaining health.

- Ergonomic Risk Identification and Assessment require the use of the Systems Approach This allows for a systematic, scientific approach to the quantification of the demands of the job and its tasks on the human being - both psychological and physiological The Systems approach considers the Physical ( Micro ) & Organizational Environment ( Macro ) as part of the overall ergonomic approach
- Present the ST and LT solutions to the ergonomic problems. most likely, the ST will be the administrative and Workpractice components with design and workplace changing next.
- The Human Spine This is a sideways & posterior view of the spine Key anatomical structures are the Facet Joints, the Vertebral Body, the Discs and the Sacrum Note the S Shaped curve at the Lumbar and Cervical spine
- The discs of the spine are comprised of an outer fibrous ring or Annulus Fibrosis . The interior is the Nucleus Pulposis . This is comparable to a “Jelly Filled Donut” The disc cannot “slip” when injured The disc is the most commonly injured part of the spine in adults aged 25 to 45. It accounts for 80 to 90% of all back injuries Degenerative Disc disease is a normal part of aging. It is a normal finding on x-ray in adults without symptoms
- The upper body’s joints all have similar structures. This is a shoulder, elbow and wrist joint. Each joint is made up of the following structures: 1 2 3 4 5 6
- In this view, the knee cap has been removed to get a clear view of the knee joint. Note the crossed ligaments in the centre of the knee. What is the name of this ligament? What is the most common cause of injury to this ligament? What happens when arthritis occurs in the knee joint?
- 1 Million more Canadians became obese last year alone!
- Our heads, thoughts, mental health WILL IMPACT our physical health negatively or positively The nervous system is best thought of as the electric wiring of the body. It tells the muscles when and how to move, and it takes back a signal about temperature, pressure and position.
