Nous avons étudié comment les conditions de travail à domicile, en particulier le mobilier et l’utilisation de l’ordinateur, affectaient les problèmes musculo-squelettiques déclarés et la performance au travail.
Objectives We surveyed how home-working conditions, specifically furniture and computer use, affected self-reported musculoskeletal problems and work performance. Methods Questionnaires from 4112 homeworkers were analyzed. The relationship between subjective musculoskeletal problems or work performance and working conditions were determined by logistic regression analyses. Results More than half the homeworkers used a work desk, work chair, and laptop computer. However, approximately 20% of homeworkers used a low table, floor chair/floor cushion, or other furniture that was different from the office setup. Using a table of disproportionate size and height, sofa, floor cushion, and floor chair were associated with neck/shoulder pain or low back pain. Disproportionate table and chair, floor cushion, and tablet computer were associated with poor work performance. Conclusions Disproportionate desk and chair, floor cushion/chair, and computer with small screen may affect musculoskeletal problems and home-working performance.
