The increased use of video display terminals (VDT) for general office applications such as data entry/retrieval and word processing has brought to light human factors problems associated with VDT use. These problems are epitomized by the complaints of VDT users about visual and musculoskeletal strain and discomfort. A number of studies have been conducted in field setttings and in laboratory simulations to determine the causes of these complaints. Human factors considerations regarding environmental and workstation design have been shown to be significant determinants of the quantity and quality of visual and muscular complaints in VDT operators. This article reviews research that has examined these human factors considerations.
