Ofis Mobilyasının Antropometrik Uygunluğunun Mobil, Masaüstü ve Web Yazılım Platformları ile Değerlendirilmesi ve Postür Egzersiz Eğitimi-Bir Aplikasyon Çalışması

Amaç: Ofis çalışanlarında işe bağlı kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıkları ve şikayetleri yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Bu problemler bireylerin yaşam kalitesini ve iş verimini etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ofis mobilyasının antropometrik uygunluğunun değerlendirildiği ve kişiye özel planlanmış postür egzersiz eğitiminin yer aldığı mobil ve masaüstü yazılım platformları geliştirmektir. Materyal ve Metot: Tasarlanan uygulama toplam 4 modülden oluşmaktadır. Birinci ve ikinci modüllerde uyumluluk ve uyumsuzlukları sınıflandırmak için bir uygulama tasarlandı. Üçüncü ve dördüncü modülller ise kişiye özel egzersiz tanımını ve takibinin yapılması için tasarlandı. Bulgular: Uygulama kapsamında 4 modül tek bir uygulamada birleştirildi. Ofis mobilyasının antropometrik uygunluğunun değerlendirildiği ve ofis mobilyasının uyumluluğunun hesaplandığı modüller; birinci ve ikinci modüldür. Üçüncü modül egzersizin tanımını içermektedir. Dördüncü modül, egzersiz programının takibini içermektedir. Sonuç: Ofis çalışanlarında sağlığın korunması ve geliştirilmesinde rol alması amacı ile bu uygulama geliştirildi. Geliştirilen insan odaklı bu ürünün iş ortamında ortaya çıkabilecek sağlık problemlerini azaltarak verimliliği ve yaşam kalitesini arttırabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

Evaluation of Anthropometric Compatibility of Office Furniture with Mobile, Desktop and Web Software Platforms and Posture Exercise Program- An Application-Based Study

Aim: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have been observed commonly in office workers with the development of technology. These problems affect the quality of life for individuals and also productivity in the workplace. The aim of this study is to design an application in which the anthropometric compatibility of office furniture is evaluated and individualized planned posture exercise training is included. Material and Method: The designed application consists of 4 modules. An application has been designed to classify the compatibility and incompatibilities in the first and second modules. The third and fourth modules are designed for personalized exercise definition and follow-up. Results: Within the scope of the application, 4 modules were combined in a single application. The modules that evaluate the anthropometric suitability of office furniture and calculate the compatibility of office furniture; it is the first and second module. The third module contains the definition of the exercise. The fourth module includes the follow-up of the exercise program. Conclusion: It is obvious that the current designed application will provide innovation to work health. Based on our hypothesis, we think that the designed application will also be effective for health protection and promotion in office workers.
