Objective: Assess reliability of the virtual application of Lueder's modified RULA method for postural assessment in teleworkers. Methods and Materials: Instrumental observational study, carried out on teleworkers over 20 years of age who worked in the pre-, during and post-confinement periods and did not present diagnoses that prevented them from carrying out their work. It was used the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method and the RULER tool to classify the level of action of the dysergonomic postures evaluated in the pictures obtained through the video calls made previously with the worker. It was validated by expert judgement and the percentage of agreement and Cohen's Kappa coefficient were applied for intra- and inter-rater reliability. Results: Eighty teleworkers, ranging in age from 20 to 70 years, were recruited and evaluated. The scores obtained by both assessors were similar. In addition, the inter-rater reliability of the modified RULA method was determined by means of the Kappa coefficient, obtaining a value above 0.8 with 95% CI (0.82-0.95) and a percentage of agreement greater than 90%, while the intra-rater reliability obtained a percentage of agreement greater than 60%, a value of 0.5 and 95% CI (0.40-0.64). Conclusion: The virtual application of the modified RULA method is reliable for ergonomic risk assessment at teleworkers' workstations.
