5. Conclusion In this study, no student was found to have an acceptable posture while working at the computer. These findings are similar to previous research in this area [4]. The majority of postures were in Action Levels 2 and 3, indicating that further investigation and possible intervention is required. A substantial proportion of students reported discomfort at the beginning of the computer class. Further investigation of baseline discomfort levels may be useful in determining if this finding is representative of schoolchildren in general and also, the cause of this discomfort. There was an increase in reported discomfort at the end of the computer class, which may have been caused by computer use. This finding is quite worrying, as these students will soon be entering a working environment where the vast majority will be expected to use computers daily. RULA proved to be, in general, a suitable method for evaluating student’s posture. A relationship was seen between increasing Action Level and increasing frequency of reported discomfort in the back/neck area and the shoulders. An increase in average discomfort score was seen from Action Level 2 to Action Level 3 but this relationship was not observed from Action Level 3 to Action Level 4. This finding is limited due to the small number in Action Level 4. Further investigation is required with a larger population.
