| Abstract: | This paper presents an evaluation of exercises recommended for the prevention of musculoskeletal discomfort among VDT/office workers. 127 exercises were analysed for their suitability for performance in VDT workplaces. Each exercise was judged in terms of its safety and its compliance with principles of physiotherapy. Results show that most instructions for the exercises were satisfactory and the exercises could be readily performed at the workstation. Some exercises posed potential safety hazards, exacerbated biomechanical stresses, or were contraindicated for persons with certain health problems. |
