Study of the seated posture for VDT work
This chapter proposes a new philosophy in Visual Display Terminal (VDT) working conditions, using a footrest and a reclining posture. The advantages of the reclining posture are found to be reduced seat pan pressure, a posture that can be maintained over time, and reduced fatigue of the lower body. The remainder of the chapter describes recent research on posture changes and body pressure distribution during long-term VDT work. The neural network is proposed as a new solution and evaluation method for body pressure distribution. This method may be suitable for the dynamic evaluation on VDT work.
