The development of an ergonomically designed product through an integrated product team approach.

CONCLUSIONS: Data obtained from three colleges was systematically verified, validated and evaluated and a design for an ergonomic student desk was the result. The adoption of these systematic processes gives the design practical validity, and once the ergonomic student desk has completed the manufacturing process, it is expected that its use will lead to a reduction in the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders, neck problems, back pain and pressure on the hips. Ultimately, students having acquired a desk designed to fit their requirements will achieve comfort and satisfaction. PMID: 30526447 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
