Three methods of visual display terminal (VDT) workstation adjustment were compared in this study in order to investigate their effects on the operator's seated posture. The first two methods were adjustments made both with and without any suggestion on the correct seated posture. The third method was an adjustment after which the workstation settings were initially set according to the results recommended by the IntelAD computer program. Ten male and 5 female participants were asked to readjust a VDT workstation until their most comfortable seated posture was obtained. When comparing the final seated postures to the ones ergonomically recommended, it was found that the workstation adjustment assisted by the computer program yielded the best result, followed by the adjustment without any suggestion on the seated posture, and then the adjustment with a suggestion on the seated posture. Furthermore, factors such as gender and typing skill level were not found to have any significant influence on the results.
