“…The raw SmO2 data for each subject was then processed and the 10 th percentile data was used for analyses. The 10 th percentile data represents the static muscle effort required by tasks, whereas the 50 th and 90 th percentiles represent more dynamic muscle requirements associated with tasks [44], [45]. Majority of the office works are sedentary; therefore the 10 th percentile of the average percentage was chosen as the parameter of muscle oxygen saturation because it refers to the low levels of muscle activity [46], [47].…”

Multiple literatures show evidences of how office workstation set-ups can influence muscle activities. However, the relationship between the postural adoption due to workstation setup and its effect to muscle oxygen saturation among office workers is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate trends of muscle oxygen saturation and perceived fatigue ratings between different upper limbs posture variations among representative computer users. A repeated measure experiment was conducted on 15 participants to compare the muscle oxygen saturation and perceived fatigue ratings between four different office work posture variations. Parametric and non-parametric statistical analyses were conducted to analyze significant differences on the dependent parameters. Data analysis showed statistically significant trends (p≤0.050) of lower muscle oxygen saturation in workstation set-ups in which participants were adopting raised shoulder and extended arm positions. In addition, the findings revealed that the perceived fatigue ratings on the shoulder, upper arm and lower arm are the lowest (p≤0.050) in workstation condition where subject can adopt neutral postures. The results highlight the effect of good office workstation setup and work postures to individual muscle oxygen saturation and fatigue levels.
