ooming IT, industrial fields attract many new employees to change their working place to an office environment. Prolonged sitting has increased complains about back pain, soreness, which can lead to spinal trauma – scoliosis. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to help identify main human body characteristics responsible for good body mass distribution and identify specific category, which have the highest change having spinal trauma. For this research 8x8 pressure matrix was built. For this were used key material – Velostat®, which is well known for its flexibility, pressure sensing and low price. For data gathering a multiplexer was used. After calibration 9 participants were evaluated in an office environment. After participant matrix map analyzation can be noticed, that subjects with small BMI index, low physical activity have the highest risks for blood supply distortion and spine, muscular disorders. For sufficient body mass distribution an appropriate muscle and fat ratio in the buttock area is required. This research will help to monitor office environment and increase worker’s healthiness and productivity. For employees would give good information what lifestyle is the best for a health and what sitting postures should be avoided. |
