Resumen |
A study of 213 telephone operators (working on VDUs) revealed incorrect sitting postures for most of them (due to the fact that they have to sit for long periods with the arms raised and unsupported) and a significantly higher than normal prevalence of degenerative alterations of the cervical, thoracic and lumbo-sacral regions of the spine. These results support the hypothesis that prolonged sitting postures at work constitute a risk factor for the spine. |
