Office work-related upper extremity symptoms and disorders have been associated with static work posture, repetition, and inadequate recovery in the anatomic structures of the neck and upper extremities. Despite these associations, relatively little research has been conducted on the development of practical measures of these ergonomic exposures. The present study examines the measurement prope...

The objective of this research is the development of an effective design of an assembly line for heaters production by taking into consideration work measurement, line balancing and ergonomic problems. As the assembly line is still not in existence and no data are available, it is quite difficult to evaluate, for each assembly line workstation, the work assignment, the assembly times as well as...

background: musculoskeletal symptoms are the main cause of loss of working time, and increase in labor costs. poor posture is the most important risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. this study aimed at evaluating the role of ergonomic risk factors in different surgical (open surgery, laparoscopy, and microsurgery) in the frequency or resonance frequency of musculoskeletal symp...

Ergonomic principles in production assembly and manufacturing operations have become an essential part of comprehensive health safety innovations. We aim to provide new insights into occupational innovations how they utilise biomechanical methods cutting-edge motion capture technology by assessing movements at a workplace. The practical goal is quantify connection between work exposure ergonomi...
