Resumo: The aim of this study was to verify whether the desks used by physical therapy students at Federal University of Paraiba were suitable to their anthropometric variables. One hundred and ten volunteers took part inthe study (24 men and 86 women, aged 21.9±2.2 years old, with body mass of 57.3±10.0 kg). Anthropometric data (height, thorax width, pelvis width, popliteal height, and buttocks-popliteal length) were collected by photogrammetry using Digita software. The desks were classified into four types and had their measures collected (seat height, width and depth, and back width, distance to seat, and inclination). Data were analysed by using anthropometric measures descriptive statistics (average, standard deviation, and 5, 10, 50, 90 and 95 percentiles). By drawing on dimensions recommended by literature, results point out that these desks are inadequate to the students; thus suggesting the adoption of furniture with dimensions adjustable to users.

Participaram 110 voluntários (24 homens e 86 mulheres), com idade média 21,9±2,2 anos e massa corporal 57,3±10,0 kg. Os dados antropométricos (estatura, largura do tórax, largura da pelve, altura poplítea e distância nádegapoplítea) foram coletados por meio de fotogrametria e do software Digita. As carteiras foram classificadas em quatro tipos, tendo sido registradas as medidas do assento (altura, largura e profundidade) e encosto (largura, distância encostoassento e inclinação). Os dados, foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão e percentis 5, 10, 50, 90 e 95) das medidas antropométricas. Tomando como base dimensões recomendadas pela literatura, os resultados indicam que as carteiras são inadequadas aos alunos, sugerindo a adoção de um mobiliário de dimensões ajustáveis à antropometria dos usuários.Universidade de São Paulo.
