Abstract

Employers are looking for ways to retain older employees past retirement age. Changes in computer technology and improvements to ergonomics in the workplace make changes to traditional computer workstations more feasible. In response to these trends a study was conducted in which computer operators worked from five different postures. Results indicate that adjustments to arm supports and placement of computer peripherals impacts posture preferences, and that age-related trends warrant further research into this topic.
