Fisher, Wayne and Tarbutt, Vern (1988): Some Issues in Collecting Data on Working Postures. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 627-631.

“The issues involved in using a pictorial versus a descriptive format to collect data on working posture are reviewed. The use of pictograms to represent limb displacement or joint angle is evaluated and shortcomings in terms of fidelity to the posture being assessed and the facility with which trends and summaries can be extracted are identified. The advantages of a format using only verbal descriptions are described in terms of the flexibility to mix behavioral and anatomical elements, the flexibility to adjust and label measurement intervals and categories, and a layout which facilitates the comparison and summary of data.”
