This study investigated the effectiveness of a workstation ergonomic intervention for work-related
posture and low back pain (LBP) in Video Display Terminal (VDT) workers. 100 VDT workers were
selected to receive the ergonomic intervention, whereas 100 were assigned to a control group. The two
groups were then crossed-over after 30 months from baseline. Follow-ups were repeated at 5, 12, and 30
months from baseline and then at 6 months following crossover. Outcomes: Work-related posture and
LBP point-prevalence using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment method and a Pain Drawing, respectively.
The ergonomic intervention at the workstation improved work-related posture and was effective in
reducing LBP point-prevalence both in the first study period and after crossover, and these effects per-sisted for at least 30 months. In conclusion, our findings contribute to the evidence that individualized
ergonomic interventions may be able to improve work-related posture and reduce LBP for VDT worker
