Abstract

Introduction: Given the essential role of appropriate benches and desks in the correct siting posture of students and the consequences of non-ergonomic seats in causing awkward postures, low back pain, neck pain, lack of concentration and discomfort, this study was aimed to examine the match between students’ anthropometric dimensions and the dimensions of existing benches and desks in Hamadan male primary schools.Materials and Methods: In this study, 600 students of Hamadan male primary schools were studied. In addition to height and weight, their anthropometric dimensions including shoulder height, elbow height, knee height, popliteal height, popliteal - buttock length and hip breadth were measured. Then, the comparison was made between the dimensions of existing benches and desks in Hamadan schools and the ergonomic dimensions.Results: The results showed that the dimensions of two existing benches and desks do not match with students anthropometric dimensions. For benches and desks with common seat pans, the seat height, seat depth, seat width, back rest height, desk height, underneath desk height were not matched with 89.5, 76.5, 88.5, 62, 57, and 64 percent of students, respectively; while in benches and desks with separated seats, the dimensions were not appropriate for 61.5, 58.5, 58, 73.5, 76.5, and 60.5 percent of students, respectively.Conclusion: Both kinds of existing FURNITURE in the Hamadan primary schools were not appropriate for students. Seat depths and heights of benches with separated seats were relatively better than of those with common seats.
