Abstract Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are construction workers’ most prevalent occupational diseases due to awkward body posture, high repetition of work and vibration. The study sought examine the different types ergonomic moves that could improve performance. Findings show majority workers were males their trade groups cut across (masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electricals). There was a sc...

ABSTRACT Introduction Exercise methods with incorrect posture or inadequate repetitive movements may cause irreversible long-term body damage. There is a growing interest in ergonomics martial arts, but taekwondo lacks studies. Objective Evaluate the postural impact on injuries and rehabilitation athletes. Methods 13 team members from sports academy had their injury characteristics evaluated. R...

This Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) has been applied for assessing operator of porang cutting machine in agriculture/forestry. An ergonomic team, industrial engineering, mechanical chemical engineering and business statisticians test the (amorphophallus muelleri) collect individually data more than 10 examples postures to produce a new evaluation that combines dynamic static posture loadin...

Abstract Introduction The objective of this study is to perform an initial evaluation a system for assessment and visual feedback the surgeon's posture during laparoscopic practice. Methods In order monitor posture, we used XSens motion tracking system. neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist joints were analyzed A method was designed using Unity3D which indicates in real time if any suffers from inadequa...

Abstract Running is one of the most popular sports worldwide motivating many non-athletic people to start new physical activities. But especially novice runners are at risk develop injuries as they tend run with prejudicial posture. Hence, there has been considerable research identify factors improving running performance. One these correct movement arms a swinging pendulum during running. Base...

Concerning occupational safety, the aim of ergonomics as a scientific discipline is to study and adjust working conditions, worker equipment, work processes from psychological, physiological, anatomical aspect instead adapting needs job. This paper will discuss analyze potential garment-embedded body posture tracking sensor its usage standard which meant help correct improper high-risk upper po...

A new model for predicting automobile driving posture is presented. The model, based on data from a study of 68 men and women in 18 vehicle package and seat conditions, is designed for use in posturing the human figure models that are increasingly used for vehicle interior design. The model uses a series of independent regression models, coupled with data-guided inverse kinematics, to fit a who...

Driver workspace design and evaluation is, in part, based on assumed driving postures of users and determines several ergonomic aspects of a vehicle, such as reach, visibility and postural comfort. Accurately predicting and specifying standard driving postures, hence, are necessary to improve the ergonomic quality of the driver workspace. In this study, a statistical clustering approach was emp...
