“…Figure 1, visualization of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) Cobblers complaints with the highest pain complaint rate of 50%. The findings of Hutabarat [6], Andriani et al [7], Szczygieł et al [8], and Zein et al [9] proved that work activity in sitting conditions has a high level of musculosceletal disorders due to muscle tension. It is mentioned that the need for interlude activities such as rest by standing to straighten the condition of the back [10].…”

This study was undertaken with the aim of engineering an ergonomic chair tailored specifically for cobblers in the Malang Regency, taking into account anthropometric measurements, the Nordic body map, and the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment method. Musculoskeletal disorders, often resulting from prolonged sitting and incorrect posture, represent significant occupational hazards for them. To mitigate these health risks, the study employed the analysis of Nordic body maps to quantify complaints based on body points, and determined anthropometric dimensions to guide the design of ergonomically correct chairs. The aspiration is that the findings of this study will diminish the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, while enhancing the productivity and work quality of cobblers. Cobblers are particularly susceptible to musculoskeletal disorders in the waist and left calf areas, along with the back, hips, right thigh, right calf, left foot, and right foot. Insights gleaned from the Nordic body maps analysis and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment method demonstrated the need for modifications to the traditional cobbler chair to reduce these risks. Consequently, an innovative ergonomic chair was designed, incorporating anthropometric dimensions and several distinctive features, including an adjustable tilt angle on the backrest, a height-adjustable seat base, and a seat base that conforms to the load conditions of the buttocks and thighs.

“…Many reports have suggested that respiratory function is affected by changes in posture, such as standing or sitting [11][12][13]. However, there are few studies on wheelchairs and chairs [14,15]. Thus, this study aimed to clarify that use of an ABSW improves respiratory functioning.…”

Decreased respiratory function is associated with a slouched posture in a wheelchair for elderly persons with severe kyphosis. We compared the use of a wheelchair with a pelvic support belt and standard wheelchair use in persons with severe kyphosis. The subjects were 22 healthy individuals. We assessed head, neck, and trunk posture; forced vital capacity (FVC), percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ), tidal volume (VT), respiratory frequency, VO 2 , and VCO 2. We found that the use of a wheelchair equipped with a pelvic support belt improved head and neck alignment and reduced forward motion in the trunk. No significant differences between the two types of wheelchairs were found in terms of VO 2 and VCO 2 . However, use of a wheelchair with a pelvic support belt was associated with increases in FVC and FEV 1 . Additionally, use of a wheelchair with a pelvic support belt was associated with greater VT and was larger than that of WC. And the respiratory frequency in those using a wheelchair with a pelvic support belt was smaller than that of WC. The postural changes that resulted from the use of a wheelchair with a pelvic support belt were found to improve respiratory functioning by increasing the tidal volume through enlargement of the thorax and decreases in respiratory frequency.

“…Há diferenças na mobilidade do tórax dependendo do tipo de cadeira. Essas diferenças consideraram as mudanças no percurso respiratório (superior e inferior) e o tamanho da amplitude do movimento respiratório (Ackermann et al, 2014;Szczygieł et al, 2015).…”
