  3. Work station characteristics: Long work hours Lighting Fatigue Visual overload Arm position Eating at the computer Un-natural sitting position

  4. Goals of the research: • To test the effectiveness over time of an innovative self-modeling photo-training method for reducing musculoskeletal risk among workers at computers. • This was compared to traditional one-time ergonomic training (pamphlets, personal advice and workstation adjustments).

  5. Method for Ergonomic Estimate of Posture • RAPID UPPER LIMB ASSESSMENT (RULA) • Scale from 1-7 (1 good posture – 7 poor posture) • RULA takes into account a series of angles and deviations Additional aspects

  6. Description of the Experiment • 60 workers (51 from BGU and 9 from Soroka Hospital) working in different jobs (e.g. administration, research, programmers) • Age range 26-66 • 38 Women and 22 Men • At each participant’s work station a webcam was installed that photographed at random intervals approximately each 20 mins. • 10-15 photos were analyzed each day • Three study groups: • Photo-training with personalized pop-up photos (intervention) • Traditional office training • Control

  7. Pop-up personalized photo-training photos
