| Resumen |
A field study of 162 VDT and 133 control workplaces revealed that constrained postures of VDT workplaces and in full-time typists were sometimes associated with physical impairments in the hands, arms, shoulders and neck. The reported complaints were confirmed by medical findings on muscles, tendons and joints. Conditions leading to an increased incidence of impairment are described and recommendations are made for optimum design of VDT workplaces. Eye impairments were also observed on all workers studied but were more frequent in VDT operators. High luminance contrast between the screen and surrounding space and luminance oscillation of characters on the screen contributed to eye strain. |
