Postural Fixity
Postural Fixity : The task can be carried out in only one working posture, often due to inflexibility resulting from the design of the workplace. This postural fixity results in static loading of the musculoskeletal system and should be avoided. e.g, computer workstation furniture that is non-adjustable and is not the appropriate size and shape for the user. Or, a term used by Grieco (1986) to describe the static postures of the head, neck and trunk that occur in VDT work
