Whether you are working in-person, hybrid, or remotely this year, I hope you find yourself in a good space and are eager to move forward on your 2023 goals and resolutions. As we begin a new year of Ergonomics in Design (EiD), I am pleased to present three very different but equally interesting articles. In the first of these articles, Eilouti considers the integration of ergonomics into kinetic architecture,which is still considered an emerging field, despite its underlying concepts datingback to ancient times. As an ergonomics application, kinetic architecture premises that the structural elements of the building (or at least some elements) can be moved or altered to meet users’ needs without impacting the overall structural integrity of the built environment. For the study presented in Eilouti’s paper, undergraduate architectural engineering students and instructors worked together to design ahouse for ahypothetical family consisting of a tall male, a short female, an elderly grandmother, a daughter, and a wheel-chair bound son. The house design integrated ergonomics and anthropometrics in an application of architectural kinetics. By applying ergonomics principles and guidelines, the designers could accommodate each user’s time and motion patterns within and between different spaces. They applied kinetics concepts so that changes or movements of furniture and other products could be accomplished with minimal physical effort, thus producing flexible multi-functional structures. Environmental and social sustainability criteria were also incorporated into the design process. Based on the findings, the author proposes a two-part framework for an ergonomics-driven design approach to architectural design. The first part addresses interactions of humans, buildings, and the environment, with a common intersection of these three leading to green ergonomics. The second part addresses the interaction between humans, buildings, and the environment, the design process, and the skills needed for ergonomics-driven architectural design. The paper demonstrates the feasibility of designing an inclusive, adaptive, and accessible kinetic built environment to meet the needs of various residents. It also shows how to engage students and instructors in a participatory educational design course. With increasing rates of obesity over the last decade, promoting physical activity as part of primary care ismore important than ever. In this issue’s second paper, Neudorf et al. examine the usability of a physical activity counseling tool (integrated into electronic medical records) to assist primary care providers with patient interactions. As part of this investigation, the authors recruited primary care providers without prior experience or knowledge of the counseling tool. The study design consisted of: think-aloud testing, ","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129777177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This issue reviews four papers that are very different in scope and topic; however, all share a common theme by highlighting the role of human factors and ergonomics in tackling realworld problems. The first paper demonstrates how a group of Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) professionals extended their expertise beyond their geographical boundaries to solve a significant COVID-related challenge. Lintern et al. brought together a team of international experts (from the disciplines of human factors and ergonomics as well as aviation) to create a checklist for COVID-19 patients undergoing surgery. The checklist was for the anesthesiology staff while they addressed essential airway management and infection control procedures. After brainstorming strategies such as do-then-confirm (e.g., often used in routine checklists) or a read-and-do (e.g., used in non-normal checklists), the authors opted for the latter due to the complexity and unfamiliarity surrounding the COVID-19 cases. First, an anesthesiologist formulated a sequence of steps for each subtask in the surgery procedure. Then, the initial design was critiqued by human factors and ergonomics experts who had experience using checklists (in disciplines such as aviation, healthcare, and process safety). Eight design iterations were performed before finalizing the checklist. This paper shows quick thinking, camaraderie, and fast task execution in a crisis. Developing the checklist took just 20 days from start to finish. Clearly, our profession can successfully tackle an emergent issue! In the second paper, Abdoli-Eramaki et al. collaborated with a utility company to develop a Chamber Lid Removal Tool aimed at reducing work-related musculoskeletal disorders related to manhole cover removal. Based on input from key stakeholders, including powerline workers, the authors designed the new tool and compared its use with commonly adapted hand tool designs (Pickaxe for cracking a conventional 120 kg lid and J-hook for cracking a new 68 kg lid). In addition, the authors used a motion capture system to observe body kinematics and biomechanical forces during lid removal. This firstclass lever new design placed the fulcrum closer to the load and thus reduced shoulder moments as well as spinal compression forces considerably compared to Pickaxe and J-hook, respectively. These findings confirm that the new tool design reduces the physical demands typically associated with removing manhole covers. The third paper by Zehr et al. examined the properties of antifatigue flooring related to tripping hazards. The authors theorized that when a person is standing on a deformable, antifatigue surface, the noncontact flooring surface is at","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121459507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
