| Abstract | Ergonomic over bed tables are widely used all over the world by persons with certain disabilities. The main aim of an over bed table is to provide a person with comfort and ease during their daily work. Earlier days over bed tables were used only in hospitals for patients to consume food. But now it has become very common, that people have started using it in their homes to fulfill many basic needs such as using a laptop, reading books etc. Therefore considering ergonomic factors when coming up with such a product is really important. No matter whether you are able or disable, any person would like to make sure that they do not become a trouble to any other person in order to get hold of their personal work. As a solution for this problem, we have considered all the fundamental ergonomic factors and have come up with a product that could be used by anybody in order to make their life easier. |
