Abstract

The positioning of the subject's arms during work with video display terminals was observed employing biomechanical model construction based on anthropometric data concerning the subject's height and total body mass. Segmental masses were determined for each subject under study and a biomechanical model corresponding to the working arm positioning, i.e. to the neutral position, medium working position and the position with arms stretched out, was formulated. Ergonomic work analysis, realized by quantifying the work weight based on arm position during work showed that more effort is required with the arms stretched out than in the neutral position.
