Association between the seated work posture knowledge and practice of UPCD clinicians during scaling and polishing, SY 1999-2000 Garret L. Robles. 49 leaves Seminar Paper--Doctor of Dental Medicine--University of the Philippines Manila. Proper seated working postures allow clinicians to perform procedures with maximum control and efficiency, with the least amount of physical stress. The aim of this study is to determine whether UPCD clinicians apply their knowledge on proper seated working posture in their clinical practice. Using a structured observation checklist a trained clinical evaluator determined the acceptability of the postures assumed by UPCD clinicians during scaling and polishing. Posture evaluation scores were cross-tabulated with the knowledge evaluation scores derived from the self-administered questionnaires answered by 42 junior and senior clinicians whose postures were previously observed. At .05 level of significance, McNemar test and odds ratio revealed that clinicians significantly practice their knowledge on proper posture in only 20% f4 out of 20 items) of the evaluation criteria.
