Ergonomic chairs design according to the physical size of the nurses of the treatment centers

Chairs are one of the things that have an impact on the health of individual in the environment, so the anthropometric dimensions of users and the ergonomic points should be considered in the designing. The main purpose of simulation of the chair is to build the chair in such a way that is suitable for different people in different dimensions and sizes. The anthropometric role will be more dominant in consisting peoples with different dimensions and sizes in a design. Considering above issues and the growing process of doing work as sit, suitability of the chair is of great importance in reducing its adverse effects on health. Satisfaction and productivity of staff in a health center especially nurses, are affected by various factors such as designing, the fitness of workstation with their physical characteristics and dimensions. In this regard, ergonomic chair by a direct effect on anthropometrics and biomechanical fitness has an important role in the improvement of Individual engagement with the work environment. This project implemented to promote the status of ergonomics knowledge and technology in the process of simulation of the chair and was done under the product simulation approach and will be implemented referring nurses who do their job as sit on the chair. Anthropometrics dimensions of a chair will be considered as qualitative and simulation will be done under ergonomic process in next section. 12 anthropometric dimensions of the chairs were measured on 5 nurses in qualitative section. According to this study, the shoulder height in sitting position was 68.90, backrest height was 69 cm and backrest angle between 100 and 110 degrees; according to the use of jack system for adjusting height, sitting height is 37 cm, sitting width is 55 cm, Suitable depth is 37 cm and backrest hand height is 22 cm.
