Comparison of Postural Change and Body Discomfort during Classroom Sitting with Two Patterns of Desk and Chair
Keywords:
Body discomfort, Postural changes, Classroom sittingAbstract
Desk and chair are importance for classroom sitting. Sitting on unsuitable desk and chair for a long time led to the musculoskeletal disorders. To compare postural changes and body discomfort during classroom sitting with 2 patterns of desk and chair consisted of 1) without lower back support 2) with lower back support. Nineteen female students were recorded posture during classroom sitting for 60 minutes in each patterns. Feeling discomfort scale was assessed before and after study. Postural changes were assessed by RULA score in the 10th and 50th minutes. The results were found that there was no statistical significant difference of the postural changes during classroom sitting with 2 patterns of desk and chair (p>0.05). There was statistical significant difference of sitting postural change with desk and chair pattern 1 and there was statistical significant difference of body discomfort between before and after classroom sitting with 2 patterns (p<0.05).
