Where Score C = Upper Limb Posture from Table A + Muscle Use (center / right) + Force (center / right)
Action Level One:
A score of one or two indicates that posture is acceptable if it is not maintained or repeated for long periods of time.
Action Level Two:
A score of three or four indicates that further investigation is needed and changes may be required.
Action Level Three:
