Postural Adaptations to a Sloping Chair and Work Surface
研究比较了四种不同组合的椅子与工作台面(传统或倾斜)对坐姿的影响,发现倾斜家具能减少躯干和颈部弯曲,且被认为更舒适。
Sitting postures were observed in four different work spaces that were designed using combinations of a conventional chair, a forward-sloping chair, and a horizontal or sloping work surface. Subjects sat at each of the work spaces while a lateral view of posture was recorded using a video camera. The slumped posture typically reported in the literature was observed when the conventional work space was used. When the sloping chair was used, postures exhibited less trunk flexion. When the sloping work surface was used, less neck flexion and a more upright trunk were observed. Although the differences between the work spaces were small, the sloping furniture was perceived to be more comfortable than the conventional furniture.
