Poor working postures and task demands are common factors that affect human performance in a workplace , particularly in the industrial sector (i.e., assembly tasks). These factors can lead to performance deterioration and introduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The current research study examines the interaction effects of working postures and assembly task demands on human performance and...

Abstrak, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) adalah masalah ergonomi yang sering dijumpai di tempat kerja, khususnya berhubungan dengan kekuatan dan ketahanan manusia dalam melakukan pegawaiannya. Aktivitas pemindahan barang secara manual berisiko mengalami gangguan MSDs. Studi pendahuluan dilakukan UKM Asri Karawang menunjukkan bahwa pegawai bagian gudang bertugas memindahkan keluhan pada lengan,...

Musculoskeletal symptoms, visual fatigue and stress are the common health hazards among the computer users. The objective of this study is to compute the level of risk among the computer users using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method. Working postures are recorded with 10 participants having age range from 25 to 33. It is observed that more than 70% postures are harmful for prolonged use...

Analyzing human poses with a Kinect is a promising method to evaluate potentials risks of musculoskeletal disorders at workstations. In ecological situations, complex 3D poses and constraints imposed by the environment make it difficult to obtain reliable kinematic information. Thus, being able to predict the potential accuracy of the measurement for such complex 3D poses and sensor placements ...

Generally, humans can work properly and achieve optimal results when supported by good environmental conditions. The effect associated with the inconvenience of working environment be experienced over a prolonged period. Therefore, this study aims to determine ergonomic design model in reducing fatigue due Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Kuala Namu Airport, Deli Serdang – Medan, Indonesia. This is...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to ergonomically evaluate the work posture of dentists to examine their subsequent risk of developing musculoskeletal diseases. [Subjects and Methods] Scenes in which the three dentists performed procedures at their dental clinics were videotaped. The videotapes of the dentists' work postures were evaluated and analyzed by using the Rapid Upper Limb Asses...

AIM The purpose of the present research was to examine the factors that lead to musculoskeletal disorders in dentists by assessing their posture using RULA method. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 130 dentists (84 male and 46 female) participated. The posture of the subjects during their normal workload was recorded by using the RULA method, and the range of musculoskeleta...

The purpose of this study was to develop an automated, RULA-based posture assessment system using a deep learning algorithm estimate RULA scores, including scores for wrist posture, based on images workplace postures. proposed estimation reported mean absolute error (MAE) 2.86 the validation dataset obtained by randomly splitting 20% original training before data augmentation. results were comp...
