Methods: This preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the document holder on the postural neck muscles activity among computer users.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the reliability of using a triaxial accelerometer to measure head movement while occupational typists were typing.
- Results showed high intra-rater reliability, indicated by an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.986, suggesting the accelerometer provides consistent measurements.
- The study concludes that the triaxial accelerometer is an effective and straightforward tool for objectively measuring head excursion in typists.
