Computer-aided design and analysis of the sitting workplace for the disabled.
This paper describes a personal microcomputer model to match the need of the ambulatory disabled to the physical workplace. It is noted that back pain resulting from working from wheelchairs is the most common complaint of many who continue or return to work. The use of computer-aided design in matching the person to his/her workstation is described.
