No student was found to have acceptable posture,
that is, posture in Action Level 1. The majority were
in Action Level 2, indicating that further
investigation is needed and changes to the working
environment or work practices may be required.
Thirty percent were in Action Level 3, indicating that further investigation and changes are required
soon. Just 5% of students were in Action Level 4.
Investigation and changes are required immediately
for these students. Similar results were found by
Oates et al where none of the 95 schoolchildren
in their study were deemed to have acceptable
posture (Action Level 1). Research which used
RULA to assess the posture of adults during
computer use, similarly found no subject to have
acceptable posture
