Avaliação ergonômica de cadeiras com prancheta a partir da utilização de variáveis antropométricas como fator de decisão

Abstract

The work presented aims to carry out the assessment of the adequacy of ergonomic chairs with clipboards available to the students of Mechanical Production Engineering from the Federal University of Ceara by anthropometrics variables. A survey of body measurements of several students was conducted, in a way that these characteristics were used as parameters for evaluation of school furniture. The determination of which furniture was more suitable for the students was obtained from scores which comply with recommendations of specialized literature on the subject. It was observed that the model B chair had the highest score, therefore, the type that better fit the anthropometric characteristics of the students survey.
