ABSTRACT

This chapter describes a model for chair adjustability. It discusses the Japan, is introduced and sashaku for workstations using visual display terminal (VDT) is described. The chapter also discusses the parametric model which includes VDT sashaku is introduced and ‘Foot overplus posture’ and ‘Foot float posture’ are defined. It addresses the need with a participative approach which includes means of predicting generalized workstation settings to accommodate individual users. VDT sashaku and a parametric model were developed as theory necessary to implement the proposed information loop. Seat pan heights may be determined from popliteal height or by subtracting sashaku from the work surface height. An integral component of such a loop would consist of software, which incorporates health and work management data, and hardware for automating the adjustment. The core of this system is the Sensor Workstation, an experimental adjustment apparatus.
