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...

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are a highly prevalent work-related health problem. Biomechanical exposure to hazardous postures during work is risk factor for the development of MSD. This study focused on developing an inertial sensor-based approach evaluate posture in industrial contexts, particularly automotive assembly lines. The analysis was divided into two stages: 1) comparative joint an...

INTRODUCTION Low back pain (LBP) is the most common, costly and disabling musculoskeletal disorder worldwide, and is prevalent in healthcare workers. Posture is a modifiable risk factor for LBP shown to reduce the prevalence of LBP. Our feasibility research suggests that postural feedback might help healthcare workers avoid hazardous postures. The Effectiveness of Lumbopelvic Feedback (ELF) tri...
