Research on pelvic angle variation when using a pelvic support
Article Abstract:
Three experiments were conducted on 20 individuals to determine the effects of pelvic angle variation in using a pelvic support. All experiments were performed with and without pelvic support. The first experiment showed that the use of pelvic support provide more stability on the waist and pelvis. The second experiment, which involves different pelvic angles, showed that most participants displayed no significant change in posture. The last experiment showed that a slope of less than 10 degrees on chair pan surface provide a positive effect, while angles of 20 and 30 degrees had a negative effect.

Construction of parametric model of operator and workstation
Article Abstract:
An algorithm for the determination of workstation component settings for individual operator convinience and productivity enhancement is presented. The parametric model provides for improved workstation ergonomic designs based on the particular operator's measurements. Experimentation and evaluations show that the parametric model results in workstation settings that are more comfortable for the operators.
