Right body postures for increasing work efficiency of homemakers.

Abstract

Good posture in doing any task may be defined as the position which requires the expenditure of the smallest amount of energy. To avoid strain and to develop a good body carriage while working, some attention should be given to posture habits in standing, sitting, stooping and bending while at work. The importance of correct work posture is directly related with efficiency, safety, good health and well being of the workers. Good posture involves establishing the center of gravity so that the whole weight of the body falls directly on the weight bearing areas below.
