Abstract

The dissimilarities between rehabilitation and ergonomics, due to differences between their clientele, have caused a perception of exaggerated divergence. Through a discussion of their components and a conceptual analysis of their processes, rehabilitation and ergonomics have been tied together. It has been argued that incorporation of ergonomic philosophy, content and methodology will enhance rehabilitation. Due to the ever-increasing population of the disabled and the aged, the demography of the workers is changing worldwide. A framework of operationalizing the incorporation of ergonomics in rehabilitation is presented to provide an appropriate accommodation for the disabled and enlarge the human resource pool for the industry. A position has been taken that rehabilitation is ergonomics' remaining responsibility.
