- Lampshade — A device mounted on a light fixture designed to direct, diffuse, or filter the light from a lamp to protect the eyes from the bulb's direct glare. In medical ergonomics, occupational health, and ophthalmology, using an appropriate lampshade is essential to prevent accommodative asthenopia (eye strain), reduce screen reflections, and optimize visual comfort in treatment or office spaces.
- Ambidextrous — A person who has the innate or acquired ability to use both hands (or both feet) with equal skill, precision, and ease. As an adjective, it describes a tool, weapon, device, or mechanism structurally designed to be used equally efficiently from either the left or right side.
- Anthropometric — Pertaining to anthropometry or to the measurement of the dimensions and proportions of the human body; specific to techniques for the quantitative determination of height, weight, bone circumferences, and skinfold thickness. In sports medicine, ergonomics, and forensic anthropology, these structural data are essential for assessing physical development, designing industrial objects, or identifying individuals.
- Anthropometry — A scientific method and branch of physical anthropology dealing with the systematic measurement of the dimensions, proportions, weight, and body composition of the human organism. Data obtained through anthropometry are used to study the biological variability of populations, monitor nutritional status, optimize athletic performance, and design ergonomic furniture or equipment.
- Anthropotechny — The science or practical discipline studying the technical means of improving, cultivating, and perfecting the physical and psychological qualities of human beings. Unlike the purely theoretical aspect, it focuses on concrete applications in medicine, ergonomics, and sports education designed to maximize the biological and adaptive potential of the human species.
