Bibliographic information Apr. 1988, Vol.8, No.1, p.43-55. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract Various postures of VDT work were investigated and the postures were classified into several patterns from the viewpoint of the inclination of the back, the state of the back and the inclination of the neck. Many bad postures were explained as attempts to prevent the VDT worker's fatigue. A chair, as an example of VDT facilities, is analysed by Value Analysis theory from the viewpoint of the VDT worker and of the designer of the chair.
