Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Participation in workplace design with reference to low back pain : a case for the improvement of the police patrol car

Notas: Sumario: Thirty Canadian police officers, divided into six groups, participated in the redesign of the interior of the patrol car. Three of the groups consisted of individuals having a history of low back disease. The effect of participating in a design process on the characteristics of the final design and on the perception of the low back pain was studied in a semi-experimental setting. The participants developed a strong commitment to the participatory design process, which was reflected in their productions. The differences between participants with and without a history of a low back disease was not marked. The former tended to stress posture-related elements in their analysis and designRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 7, July 1994 ; p. 1131-1136Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Diseño Automóviles Policía Columna vertebral Postura Asientos Ingeniería mecánica Canadá Otros autores: Kuorinka, Ilkka
