Potters and sculptors perform their work in very awkward postures. The purpose of this study was to analyse these postures. The modified Nordic questionnaire was used to analyse musculoskeletal discomfort. Rapid entire body assessment (REBA) and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) were used to evaluate the subjects' postures. There were no significant differences between times of discomfort and the group of subjects. However, there were significant differences in discomfort in different body parts. The analysis indicated that various body postures were harmful to the subjects and that there were profound deviations from natural curvature of various body parts due to awkward body postures. Ergonomics intervention was required to improve the quality of life.
陶艺家和雕塑家以非常别扭的姿势进行他们的工作。本研究的目的是分析这些姿势。改良的北欧问卷用于分析肌肉骨骼不适。快速全身评估（REBA）和快速上肢评估（RULA）用于评估受试者的姿势。在不适时间和受试者组之间没有显著差异。然而，在不同身体部位的不适方面存在显著差异。分析表明，各种身体姿势对受试者有害，并且由于身体姿势别扭，各个身体部位的自然曲率存在深刻偏差。需要进行工效学干预以提高生活质量。
