Halpern, Craig A. and Davis, Paul J. (1993): An Evaluation of Workstation Adjustment and Musculoskeletal Discomfort. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 817-821.

Ninety (90) office workers were administered a survey to gather a subjective evaluation of appearance, layout, useability and efficiency of their workstations, and to develop a body part discomfort rating. All ninety workstations were then reconfigured and adjusted to fit each user's anthropometric dimensions. After approximately four months, a follow-up survey was conducted. Results from the reconfiguration and "fitting process" indicated a significant decrease in body part discomfort, and an increase in the perceived efficiency, and useability of the office furniture and equipment. Use of office equipment properly adjusted to fit the user through ergonomics and anthropometric principles may enhance productivity and performance, reduce awkward postures, and the associated cumulative trauma injuries.
