BACKGROUND The present study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical exposure to the trapezius muscle activity in female weavers for a prolonged period in the workstation A (suggested by previous studies) and workstation B (proposed by the present study). METHODS Electromyography data were collected from nine females during four hours for each ergonomically designed workstation at the Ergonomics ...

This paper describes an integrated computer environment for the structural design of new power lines, the evaluation of existing lines, and their long term management. The detailed content of the data files that need to be accessed is presented. Implementation of commonly used design and archiving functions on a workstation should help design optimization, reduce design mistakes and resul consi...

This paper describes the development of a novel robotic workstation which users configure to a variety of spatial forms. These configurations allow users to define their physical workspace as well as to situate computer and analogue tools precisely to support a broad range of work-and-leisure computing activities. The workstation is part of our Animated Work Environment (AWE) project aimed at p...

anthropometric data are used for proper design of workstation, equipment, furniture. mismatch between anthropometric dimensions and consumer products may cause health problems in human body. in this study we measured anthropometric dimensions of iranian university students in order to create a data bank for furniture design. the purpose was to measure some anthropometric dimensions of universit...

This paper describes a project to specify, design, develop, and evaluate a physician's workstation for use in patient care. We conducted an ethnographic study of physicians' information needs in an outpatient setting, from which we derived a set of functional specifications for a physician's workstation. We have implemented an experimental prototype using an open systems, client/server architec...
