Using a study portable desk would make users fix the position once a few moments so that they risk experiencing bodily discomfort. Analysis indications of posture risk can be done by selecting launch rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) analysis from the ergonomic tools toolbar in CATIA software. This research aims to identify movements that occur when using a portable study desk and to analyze user posture risks that can be experienced when using a portable study desk. Based on the research results, it is known that the body posture of portable study desk users for group A on the upper arms is in the range of 20-45°, and the lower arms are in the range of 60-100°. The wrist enters the neutral position range. The rotation of the wrist can be seen that the hand is pointing inward. It has a degree of freedom of 90° with a maximum flexion angle of 160° and a minimum extension angle of 0°. Group B body posture for the stem body has a degree of freedom of 0°. The legs experience a slight downward movement with a degree of freedom of 6.061° and a maximum flexion angle of 135°. Posture analysis results for body parts. Details of the upper arm, forearm, wrist, and wrist twist have a score of 1, which means no posture needs to be corrected and the posture is acceptable. Details of body parts, namely neck, trunk, and legs, are indicated in green, which means no posture needs to be corrected and the posture is acceptable. The score results for body parts with the static posture option get an assessment score of 2 with a green color indication, so it can be concluded that the risk indication for this posture is acceptable.
