Subjective Evaluation of Discomfort in Sitting Positions

We study the modelling of the subjective sensation of discomfort for subjects seated during a long time, in terms of local discomforts. The methodology uses fuzzy measures and integrals in a multicriteria decision making process, which enables the modelling of complex interaction between variables. Results of the experiment are detailed, giving models with respect to different kinds of discomfort, and to different macro-zones of the body.
