There are many people are prevalence in the high risk of musculoskeletal disorder especially computer users. They are exposed to this disorders due to their prolonged sitting. A good or poor sitting posture can be contributed to a high or low seating pressure. In this study, the feedback for the effect of poor seating posture to the people is identified by using questionnaires. The experiment are conducted two times to compare the seating pressure of the respondents which is according to the sitting posture before and after adjusted. The seating pressure of the respondents who sit on the ergonomic chairs in the lab is determined by using CONFORMat Research 7.60 software. Therefore, the shape, contour, dimensions, firmness and padding of the surface design are shown through the real-time display of sensor data and be graphing with data analysis. Most of the respondents recorded the lower sitting pressure for after adjusted sitting posture while compared with the sitting pressure before adjusted posture. Furthermore, the sitting posture would be adjusted by using RULA analysis. Lastly, the sitting posture after adjusted is considered as a proper sitting posture which can be proposed to the people such as CAD designer according to the comparison of sitting pressure. There are some of the recommendations for future improvement of this study.
