I agree. I also don’t see any issues with their consoles. As you can see, the bottom monitors are positioned at the sailors’ eye levels. That should be fine.

I also don’t see any problem with the sailors having to position their arms up a little. In fact, placing their arms higher forces them to sit up straight, which is key to not damaging their backs. When they sit too “comfortably”, their backs are inevitably more hunched, which is NOT good to their backs.

I am very experienced with using microscopes. When I was in grad school, I used to spend more than 10 hours/day in front of a microscope at a time. The first lesson I got from my advisor was that I needed to position the binoculars on the microscope higher. This way, I would have to sit up straight in front of the scope. When I now train my students and postdocs, I always emphasize that they need to position the microscope higher so that they don’t damage their backs.

Of course, I have colleagues who like to sit more “comfortably” at the scope, with the binocular eye piece positioned slightly below their eye level and their arms comfortably resting on the table at a slightly lower level. And they do this, their backs are always hunched. And almost always, these people complain about back pain after sitting at the microscope for a long time (more than 3-4 hours).

As you can see in the photo, these sailors sit up with their backs straight. This is a good posture to protect their backs.


Yup. Saves you from the "text-neck" issues.

I don't see a problem here they have primary and secondary console The primary console is right where they should be So what is the problem I think you are the one that has problem

Of course only a fanboi like you would see nothing but perfection in the objects of his worship.

You also moronically drew a line that isn't even perpendicular to the plane of the screen. Do you even have any idea what you are doing? LOL Here let me fix it for you:

052D ergo.jpg

The middle console has a convergence point for the screens that is a full 2' behind and above the guy sitting in the middle. He even has to lean forward to get anywhere close to the perpendicular of the lower screen and still cannot reach the ideal angle for that screen. Also, his chair back is in an absolutely horrible position and is not supporting his spine in any fashion. In fact none of the chair backs are supporting the spines of any of these three personnel. You'd have to be blind or a raving fanboi to miss stuff this obvious.

Good for you. Here is what ergo professionals actually say:

From the photos it is abundantly clear that the PLAN personnel in that photo are experiencing significant shoulder flexion and abduction as well as back flexion, all of which contribute to work fatigue.

I work with computer all day and we are required to take ergonomic computer class every 6 month to know the proper way to work with computer Or else we can't work. I know what I am doing You take the straight line from you eye to 2 in below the monitor edge and that should be horizontal and parallel to the floor

I also instrumentation and control panel designer at one time secondary panel or console is for reference only the primary console is the one that you work all the time so that is the main console

Do you know what you are doing other than bad mouthing everything has to do with Chinese design!
here I give you primer on ergonomic

4. Place the top line of the screen at or slightly (0-30 degrees) below eye level.
According to ergonomics expert and professor Dr. Alan Hedge, “When you are seated comfortably, a user’s eyes should be in line with a point on the screen about 2-3″ below the top of the monitor casing (not the screen). Sit back in your chair at an angle of around 100-110 degrees (i.e. slight recline) and hold your right arm out horizontally, your middle finger should almost touch the center of the screen. From that starting position you can then make minor changes to screen height and angle to suit. Research shows the center of the monitor should be about 17-18 degrees

LOL by your own description your middle guy is already leaning forward yet even in his current position he will not be able to touch the screen, nor would a horizontally-held arm touch the middle of the screen. Nor is he sitting back in his chair, to speak nothing of a slight recline.

As for 17-18 degree angle of the monitor, that is in reference to a point BELOW the eyes of the operator, NOT above:

Is the entire setup ergonomic? No.
Does it impact combat effectiveness in any significant way? No.

Case closed, move on.

Wow, you know this to be true? Pray tell, where does your expertise or knowledge of 052D operations come from? Oh, nowhere? I see. Case closed, move on.

LoL I don't see anything serious to the proportions you implied. Nothing a simple band face pull and towel tuck cannot fix if they have tight chest and C1-7 issues.
Shoulder flexion and abduction are normal default positions for an average guy, wouldn't you agree? Significant? Not really, they all were in the safe zones, less than 45 degrees and elbows in front of shoulders. Maybe it's good for bigger biceps and lats? LoL Except for the innermost guy, who had his elbow way front and a bit hunched over, they seemed to have a natural spine. Nothing serious to complain about.
Plus people come in all different length and proportions, long short torso, humerus etc. As long as one can make necessary adjustments and have a proper sitting posture, with or without lumber support, I believe that would not seriously impede operations.
They are not sedentary office workers. They have morning drills, and most likely an onboard gym.
Regardless, I agree sitting posture is important.

Perhaps it was intentionally designed this way to prevent the accidental pressing of buttons or knee-jerk reactions brought about by abrupt stimuli. Have we any idea what station it is? CIC?

Aren't those chairs adjustable? The chairs seem to be have been set a bit too low. Zumwalt, Type-45, Horizon, FREMM have three large screens side-by-side for each operator.
