Introduction: Proper posture is essential for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and ergonomic problems in elderly adults. This study aims to analyze the reading posture of elderly residents in the Esposos Bishara seniors’ residence, located in Tachina Parish, Esmeraldas Canton, Ecuador. Methods: A quantitative methodology was employed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method to evaluate the reading postures of twelve elderly individuals aged between 63 and 99 years. Data were collected in designated reading spaces within the asylum. Results: The analysis revealed that the elderly participants exhibited medium to low risks of developing MSDs and ergonomic problems during reading activities. The predominant risk factors included neck flexion and prolonged static postures. Discussion: These findings align with existing literature that highlights the importance of ergonomic interventions in reducing MSD and ergonomic risks among elderly adults. The study underscores the need for ergonomic adjustments in reading environments to enhance postural health. Conclusion: The study concludes that while the risk levels are not alarmingly high, ergonomic modifications are necessary to mitigate potential MSDs in elderly readers. Future research should explore broader populations and varying reading environments.

“…У виданні [2] автори пропонують створювати цифрові людські моделі (DHM), завдяки яким можна аналізувати індивідуальні відмінності та взаємодію в архітектурних просторах, оцінюючи ергономіку на етапі проєктування. Проте, поки що існуючі DHM платформи не інтегровані з архітектурним програмним забезпеченням, що обмежує можливість дизайнерів та архітекторів отримувати своєчасний зворотний зв'язок.…”

In today's world, there is a growing need to create an inclusive environment that meets the needs of people with limited mobility. This applies not only to architecture and public spaces at the level of macro- and meso-ergonomics, but also to adaptive furniture at the level of micro-ergonomics. The study is devoted to the formalization of a number of requirements for the modeling of adaptive furniture for people with musculoskeletal disorders. Particular attention is paid to aspects in the development of furniture that not only provide comfort, safety and functionality, but also represent an aesthetically pleasing design that contributes to the integration of ASPA into the social environment. Ergonomic requirements are considered, taking into account the anthropometric and biomechanical features of such users with the help of digital models (DHM). Using DHM, you can study the interaction of users with furniture, simulate different scenarios of their use, and evaluate the parameters of the quality of comfort and safety. It has been established that the integration of DHM with modern three-dimensional modeling technologies allows optimizing furniture designs, making them maximally adapted to the needs of ASPA. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for designing adaptive furniture, which ensures an increase in the standard of living of users thanks to individually configured ergonomic. In order for ASPAs to be able to work comfortably and productively, the projected development of the interpenetration of modern technical innovations in this field with the subsequent unification in a separate direction of designing inclusive furniture and equipment, with the division into separate groups for different types of disabilities, becomes quite relevant.
