Resumo
Este estudo tem por objetivo comparar a postura da cabeça, tronco superior e membros superiores de trabalhadores de escritório que usam a mesa em L em duas diferentes maneiras: parte côncava e parte reta da mesa. Os dados posturais foram coletados em 16 sujeitos por meio de inclinometria e os resultados apontam que independente da disposição do monitor e do teclado sobre da mesa em L não existem diferenças em relação à postura de cabeça, tronco superior e membros superiores nas trabalhadoras de escritório avaliadas.

Abstract
This study aims to compare the posture of the head, upper back and upper limbs of office workers who use L shaped desks in two different ways: straight and concave part of the desk. Posture data were collected from 16 subjects by means of inclinometry and the results indicate that regardless the position of VDUon the L table there are no differences in relation to the posture of head, upper back, and upper limbs in office workers.
