Description
Sewing involves repeated movements of the shoulder and arm, a static position of the spine and lower extremities, as well as the inclination forward while the job is done throughout the workinghours. Sewing machine operators have shoulder and neck problems. An ergonomically designed workstation makes working less tiring and avoids long-term physical damage to the musculoskeletal system. Ergonomic improvements can often be achieved by taking a few corrective measures. Working height, legroom, work chair and sitting posture.
