ABSTRACT
In many work situations, operators must adapt themselves posturally to the constraints imposed on them by their work environment. These adaptations are often relatively fixed and are often repeated throughout the working day over a period of many years, resulting in postural misalignments which may increase the risk of discomfort and both short and long-term disorders. The study of postural adaptations to external environment is therefore an essential part of the evaluation of industrial workspaces.
