Risk Factors of Upper Limb Musculoskeletal Disorders of Computer Users: A Preliminary Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Musculoskeletal symptoms, visual fatigue and stress are the common health hazards among the computer users. The objective of this study is to compute the level of risk among the computer users using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method. Working postures are recorded with 10 participants having age range from 25 to 33. It is observed that more than 70% postures are harmful for prolonged use of computer and for not maintains any work-rest schedule. However ergonomics improvement may help to reduce the problems.
