Investigation of the Office Environment with Ergonomics Products

摘要

In previous research, we investigated the fatigue degree of humans when they are in the environment with the ergonomics products and other environment without, by the typing task using the EMG (electromyography) measurement and the body fatigue questionnaire and the interview. As a result, we found that the environment that human feels the least fatigue is furnished with ergonomics products. We found out that it leads to reduction in fatigue degree by using more ergonomics products continually. Following this, we conducted the research how the workers use the ergonomic products and experienced the change of the fatigue using the original questionnaire. The results show that the use of an ergonomics product showed leads to the reduction in degree of fatigue and the creation of comfort. However, the results will show a different picture when we examine the effect of the continuous use of an ergonomics product.
