Abstract: ABSTRACT: Long hours of computer use causes different types of health issues such as noticeable increase in risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders in long-term.This study aims to design anthropometric home office computer workstation setup for computer users. For this purpose, anthropometric measurements were collected to design the most suitable home office computer workstation to reduce the perceived musculoskeletal discomfort. Electromyogram experiments on two different computer workstations were conducted to find out the muscle groups exposed to pressure during working with computer activities. The significance of this study is to provide muscle discomfort reducing furniture and user-friendly interfaces during working with computer. Such proper home office computer workstation is necessary to prevent strain injuries which can lead to long- term disabilities. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Uzun süre bilgisayar kullanımi farklı sağlık sorunlara yol açar örneğin, uzun vadede kas iskelet sistemi hastalıklarında artışlara neden olur. Bu çalışma, bilgisayar kullanıcıları için antropometrik ev ofis bilgisayarı iş-istasyonu kurulumu tasarlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, algılanan kas-iskelet rahatsızlığı azaltmak için en uygun ev ofis bilgisayar iş istasyonu tasarlamak için antropometrik ölçümler toplanmıştır. İki farklı bilgisayar iş-istasyonu üzerinde, bilgisayar faaliyetleri sırasında basınca maruz kalan kas gruplarını tespit etmek için elektromiyogram deneyler yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın önemi bilgisayar ile çalışırken boyunca kas rahatsızlıklarını azaltıcı mobilya ve kullanıcı dostu arayüzleri sağlamaktır. Bu koşullara uygun ev ofis bilgisayar iş-istasyonu uzun dönemli sakatlıklara yol açabilir zorlanma yaralanmaları önlemek için gereklidir.
