| Abstract: | In ergonomics some postures are considered to be a serious risk factor for discomfort, reduced efficiency and musculoskeletal disorders. Posture recording and description is necessary to yield data by which postural load can be assessed. In this paper an inexpensive and simple method to gather these data is described: a twodimensional posture recording and description by means of photography. A disadvantage of this method, perspective error, is discussed and guidelines are given to reduce it. The validity of the method was experimentally tested. |
