| Abstract: | Hand and arm posture while keying is frequently mentioned as a risk factor for upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders among video display terminal (VDT) operators. However, many epidemiologic studies have not included measures of posture of VDT operators, in part, because of the difficulty of assessing posture rapidly and reliably among large numbers of subjects. Manual goniometry can provide useful information about upper extremity posture among VDT users for use in epidemiologic studies of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. |
