Description
Summary:A technique is described for recording whole body postures by making ten marks on a chart, these marks indicating the positions of the head, trunk, upper and Sower limbs with reference to a standard position. Training in the technique was given to groups of subjects, including 32 work study practitioners, and tests of accuracy and repeatability conducted. The procedure was found to be easy to learn, highly repeatable and accurate except where postures were held for short periods and not repeated.
