Abstract

This review paper mainly focuses on ergonomics problem which is mainly related to bedridden patients and caretaker of those patients. A bed plays a key role in the patients' life, if ergonomically bed is not suitable for patients then he can't recover fast & also the person who takes care of the patient they go through some injuries or accident. Designing a healthcare facility without giving sufficient consideration to the users who will perform their activities in it may lead to dysfunctional workplace. Like assisted living facilities, nursing homes, outpatient clinics, as well as in home health care services, the design of hospital bed depends largely on users’ anthropometric characteristics to ensure comfort, safety, and productivity of health care service. In attempting to meet the patients’ needs, a survey paper was studied for many cases (patients and caregivers point of view) which aimed at proposing a new prototype to provide their needs.
