The incubator for newborns is a system specially designed to provide babies environmental qualities of the ideal closest to the womb, as they have difficulties to adapt to the external environment. Controls temperature, humidity and oxygen inside. The infant assumes a dominant posture of flexion of the limbs and thus bending of the spine. According to Barradas [1], premature babies do not get the necessary neurological maturity, not enough time to stay in the intrauterine environment to develop this bending, resulting in muscle and other problems. This work consists of an ergonomic analysis of the problems of neonatal incubator based on the method proposed by Moraes and Mont'Alvão [3] for the proposition regarding improvements to accommodate the newborn and correct posture, improve the quality of life of the newly born, to minimize future problems and reducing the time of hospitalization.
