Resumen |
The means and ranges for preferred seat height, keyboard height above floor, screen height above floor, screen distance to table edge, screen inclination, eye levels and viewing angle, and screen and visual distance, were determined in 68 subjects (48 female, 20 male) from 4 companies. Preferred body postures differed distinctly from those recommended in the literature, and were based on the subjects' feelings of postural relaxation. In particular, there was a clear tendency for operators to lean backwards, in contrast to the upright position recommended in brochures and standards. Adjustable VDT stations can substantially contribute to comfortable and suitable work postures. |
