Modeling the Impact of Ergonomic Interventions and Occupational Factors on Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Neck of Office Workers with Machine Learning Methods.

Journal of research in health sciences
BACKGROUND: Modeling with methods based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence can help understand the complex relationships between ergonomic risk factors and employee health. The aim of this study was to use ML methods to estimate the...

Promoting safety of underground machinery operators through participatory ergonomics and fuzzy model analysis to foster sustainable mining practices.

Scientific reports
One of the most vital parameters to achieve sustainability in any field is encompassing the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of the workers. In mining industry where heavy earth moving machineries are largely employed, ergonomic hazards turn out ...

Predicting noise-induced hearing loss with machine learning: the influence of tinnitus as a predictive factor.

The Journal of laryngology and otology
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine which machine learning model is most suitable for predicting noise-induced hearing loss and the effect of tinnitus on the models' accuracy.

Improved REBA: deep learning based rapid entire body risk assessment for prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.

Ergonomics
Preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) is crucial in reducing their impact on individuals and society. However, the existing mainstream 2D image-based approach is insufficient in capturing the complex 3D movements and postures invo...

Prediction model of subacromial pain syndrome in assembly workers using shoulder range of motion and muscle strength based on support vector machine.

Ergonomics
Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is the most common upper-extremity musculoskeletal problem among workers. In this study, a machine learning model was built to predict and classify the presence or absence of SAPS in assembly workers with shoulder joi...

Robot occupations affect the categorization border between human and robot faces.

Scientific reports
The Uncanny Valley hypothesis implies that people perceive a subjective border between human and robot faces. The robot-human border refers to the level of human-like features that distinguishes humans from robots. However, whether people's perceived...

Improving Workers' Musculoskeletal Health During Human-Robot Collaboration Through Reinforcement Learning.

Human factors
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to improve workers' postures and thus reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in human-robot collaboration by developing a novel model-free reinforcement learning method.

Evolution of the biomechanical dimension of the professional gestures of grinders when using a collaborative robot.

International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
Using a cobot could relieve workers of strenuous and repetitive tasks while preserving their expertise. To understand the consequences of using a cobot on the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), within a theoretical framework based on act...

A Deep-Learning Based Posture Detection System for Preventing Telework-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The change from face-to-face work to teleworking caused by the pandemic has induced multiple workers to spend more time than usual in front of a computer; in addition, the sudden installation of workstations in homes means that not all of them meet t...
