Measurement of postural angles during work / Arne Aaras and Einar Stranden
Sumario: A method for continuous measurement of postural angles (head angle, arm abduction, arm flexion and back angle ) is described. The method involves attachment of potentiometer pendulums at the head, shoulder and back. In the laboratory tests the equipment ("Physiometer") seems to record the actual body angles adequately. The system is relatively simple and robust and well suited for field studies. It is planned to use the technique of postural angle measurements in the assessment of workload
