摘要

背景:在许多发展中国家，很少有人体测量测量，学校家具的尺寸要么是基于发达国家的人体测量测量，要么是随意确定的。目的:本研究的目的是从人体工程学角度评估阿拉伯联合酋长国教室家具的尺寸，并与学生的人体测量测量相比较。方法:在迪拜和沙迦的两所大型学校测量了200名六年级学生的相关人体测量尺寸。这些学生使用的家具尺寸也被测量，并与他们的人体测量值进行比较。结果:结果表明，许多人体测量值与教室家具尺寸存在重大不匹配。结论:家具尺寸与学生人体测量值存在较大差异。确保姿势舒适。根据学生的人体测量尺寸，提出了一套新的六年级教室家具尺寸。

Ergonomic assessment of primary school furniture in United Arab Emirates

BACKGROUND: In many developing countries, anthropometric measures are rarely available and dimensions of school furniture are either based on anthropometric measures from developed countries or are arbitrarily determined. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to ergonomically assess classroom furniture dimensions in United Arab Emirates as compared to students’ anthropometric measures. METHODS: Relevant anthropometric dimensions of a sample of 200 grade 6 students were measured in two large schools in Dubai and Sharjah. Dimensions of furniture used by these students were also measured and compared to their anthropometric measures. RESULTS: Results show that there was a major mismatch between many anthropometric measures and classroom furniture dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: There is a great discrepancy between furniture dimensions and anthropometrics measures of students. To ensure postural comfort. a new set of furniture dimensions for grade 6 classrooms in is suggested based on anthropometric dimensions of students.
