Computer workstation usage leads to health risks, including the development of poor ergonomics in the office. This study investigates the reliability of a ranged camera for posture analysis based on Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). The cameras were tested under three settings of camera positions. The results show that the side position is the most accurate with the help of calibration and markers. Experts reviewed the advantages of RULA Eye over other assessment tools.

Keywords: RULA, Ranged camera, Posture analysis, Upper limb discomfort.
