The study reflects the relevance of existing standards for setting up computer workstations. Normal human behavior doesn't always make us assume the best postures as we tend to shift posture to make ourselves comfortable. Even though we know it's not good for our body, we frequently get caught up in the activity at hand, resulting in inappropriate and awkward postures. A 2x2 factorial design that included two different arrangements of a computer workstation and two different chairs with different features was used to make participants perform a 2-hour computer task during which the postures were measured. There is no significant difference in postural behavior for different workstation arrangements or interaction effects. Two posture variables showed differences across the two chairs used. Arranging workstations based on standards doesn't cause a significant effect on the subjects' postural behavior. Chair features or the design seem to have affected how they assume their postures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
