Encouraging good sitting postures have not reported consequent musculoskeletal pain reduction in school-based populations, possibly due to a lack of clear understanding of good posture. Therefore this paper describes the variability of postural angles in a cohort of asymptomatic high-school students whilst working on desk-top computers in a school computer classroom and to report on the relationship between the postural angles and age, gender, height, weight and computer use.enArchived with thanks to BMC musculoskeletal disordersPostureAdolescentBody weightComputersAdolescentAdolescent BehaviorAnthropometryAsymptomatic DiseasesFemaleFollow-Up StudiesHuman EngineeringHumansImaging, Three-DimensionalMaleMicrocomputersMusculoskeletal PainPostureProspective StudiesSampling StudiesSouth AfricaSpineArticleBMC musculoskeletal disorders
