Calculated "sway", the key to preventing worker fatigue and discomfort...
The goal
The benefit of ergonomics to the human body as it relates to floor surfacing is to achieve maximum blood flow throughout the body to offset fatigue brought on by standing in a static position, or having limited movement.
The method
Oxygenated blood is pumped by the heart through arteries to all areas of the body that require oxygen for fuel. The blood then returns via the veins, to the heart and lungs for refueling and the process begins again with the re-circulation of oxygenated blood through the arteries.
Blood pressure and the normal contracting, and relaxing of muscles around veins as we move, facilitates the return journey of blood through the one-way valve system in the veins. This process can be inhibited when we have to stand on a hard surface or our movement is restricted for long periods.
The solution
Work Matta mats create a very subtle imbalance that causes the muscles to work just enough to promote circulation.
