Goals of the research:
To test the effectiveness over time of an innovative self-modeling photo-training method for reducing musculoskeletal risk among workers at computers.
This was compared to traditional one-time ergonomic training (pamphlets, personal advice and workstation adjustments).

Method for Ergonomic Estimate of Posture RAPID UPPER LIMB ASSESSMENT (RULA)
Scale from 1-7 (1 good posture – 7 poor posture) RULA takes into account a series of angles and deviations

Description of the Experiment
60 workers (51 from BGU and 9 from Soroka Hospital) working in different jobs (e.g. administration, research, programmers)
Age range 26-66
38 Women and 22 Men
At each participant’s work station a webcam was installed that photographed at random intervals approximately each 20 mins.
10-15 photos were analyzed each day
Three study groups: Photo-training with personalized pop-up photos (intervention) Traditional office training Control

Conclusions
Personal pop-ups are an effective of reminding computer users to pay attention to their work posture and may over time, improve worker health.
