摘要：

There is a pressing need to rank body deviations from neutral postures which occur due to variety of body movements around different joints. Such knowledge is needed to better understand potentially adverse effects of poor working postures on the industrial population. The main objective of this study was to examine the effects of postural deviations on perceived joint discomfort ratings assessed under similar working conditions. Twelve males and seven females participated in the laboratory study. The results revealed several distinct classes of joint deviations from neutral postures. which need to be assigned different weights of postural stress. A preliminary ranking system for assessment of stressfulness of human body deviations about different joints was proposed.
