ErgoReport: A Holistic Posture Assessment Framework Based on Inertial Data and Deep Learning.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Apr 3, 2025
Awkward postures are a significant contributor to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), which represent great social and economic burdens. Various posture assessment tools assess WRMSD risk but fall short in providing an elucidating risk b...
Computer vision and tactile glove: A multimodal model in lifting task risk assessment.
Applied ergonomics
Apr 1, 2025
Work-related injuries from overexertion, particularly lifting, are a major concern in occupational safety. Traditional assessment tools, such as the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE), require significant training and practice for deployment. This...
Human activity recognition algorithms for manual material handling activities.
Scientific reports
Mar 31, 2025
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using wearable sensors has prompted substantial interest in recent years due to the availability and low cost of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). HAR using IMUs can aid both the ergonomic evaluation of the performed...
Machine learning-enhanced back muscle strength prediction considering lifting condition and individual characteristics.
International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
Feb 19, 2025
This study investigated factors influencing back muscle strength, focusing on sex, forearm posture and lifting height. Lower back pain, prevalent in industries involving manual materials handling, is closely linked to back muscle strength. The study ...
Biomechanical Risk Classification in Repetitive Lifting Using Multi-Sensor Electromyography Data, Revised National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Lifting Equation, and Deep Learning.
Biosensors
Feb 1, 2025
Repetitive lifting tasks in occupational settings often result in shoulder injuries, impacting both health and productivity. Accurately assessing the biomechanical risk of these tasks remains a significant challenge in occupational ergonomics, partic...
Exploring Human-AI Dynamics in Enhancing Workplace Health and Safety: A Narrative Review.
International journal of environmental research and public health
Jan 30, 2025
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing occupational health and safety (OHS) by addressing workplace hazards and enhancing employee well-being. This review explores the broader context of increasing automation and digitalization, ...
A fuzzy logic approach to improve the sensitivity of the rapid entire body assessment method.
International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
Jan 27, 2025
Conventional ergonomic observation methods, such as rapid entire body assessment (REBA), are limited in their sensitivity and reliability, particularly in detecting changes in input variables. This study integrates fuzzy logic with the REBA method, u...
Time Efficiency and Ergonomic Assessment of a Robotic Wheelchair Transfer System.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nov 27, 2024
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...
Predicting ergonomic risk among laboratory technicians using a Cheetah Optimizer-Integrated Deep Convolutional Neural Network.
Computers in biology and medicine
Oct 28, 2024
Medical laboratory technicians play a significant role in clinical units by conducting diagnostic tests and analyses. However, their job nature involving repetitive motions, prolonged standing or sitting, etc., leads to potential ergonomic risks. Thi...
NLP-based ergonomics MSD risk root cause analysis and risk controls recommendation.
Ergonomics
Aug 27, 2024
An ergonomics assessment of the physical risk factors in the workplace is instrumental in predicting and preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular for ergonomics assessments becaus...
