Brakemoor™ Anti.Fatigue™ Software.
Brakemoor™ is one component of an Anti.Fatigue™ system of hardware and software products by Designer Appliances Inc that are designed to help you manage physiological fatigue risk, which is to our belief is the most likely cause of worker related overuse syndromes.
The Brakemoor™ concept is simple; we call it the 3R’s of Anti.Fatigue™
1. Re-Aeration
2. Relaxation
3. Recovery
They are taken as a Fatigue Brake™, main breaks, with Air Brake™ Mini Breaks in between.
Constant muscle tension, static or fixed postures, such as gripping computer mice are the main antagonists. The next priority is to manage dynamic posture activities, like typing, to make sure you regularly purge and replenish muscles. In developing a break timer we looked at many options including the stretch programs available. They have their place and can be used alongside of Brakemoor™, but our objective is sustainable behavior and we were unable to adopt and embrace a method that had us contorting every so often at our desks.
Brakemoor™“It’s All About You!
So Brakemoor™ gently reminds you to take breaks that are about you, your pictures, your music and your interests. It isn’t just to remind you why you go to work it is to engage you, distract you with something as meaningful as your work; so help you to remember what you want to go home to and make it your priority to get home safe, and in no worse a condition than that which you came to work in. Until you get problems you will never understand the pain and the concerns that chronic impairment can inflict, both at work and at home.
“ It can’t happen to you?” Look around; one in three computer users you see will already be exhibiting signs of fatigue related symptoms.
