Abstract:

Manual Material Handling (MMH) is a risky activity that causes low back pain and has become a worldwide phenomenon, not only in developed countries, but also occur in developing countries. One effort to reduce the injury caused by MMH is the Reccomended Weight Limit (RWL) equation, published by NIOSH. However, NIOSH equation is more tested and researched in European and America. Therefore, it is necessary adjustment for Indonesia people. In this paper, the author analyze the vertical multiplier factor in NIOSH equation for male workers in Indonesia. Multiplier factor is assessed using three cr

Abstract:

This investigation was aimed to study using the psychophysical method if the revised weight limit of lifts recommended by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) can be used as a limit for the Korean workers. College students and field workers, all of whom were young males, participated in the experiment. The psychophysical experiment and the validation experiment were performed in sagittal plane where lifting frequency and lifting height varied. Main results showed the load constant obtained in this study was about the same as the one recommended in the NIOSH eq

Abstract:

Trunk kinematics (i.e. speed and acceleration), a risk factor associated with low back pain (LBP), is difficult to measure in the field and is not incorporated in popular lifting analysis tools. In this study, computationally efficient computer vision-based methods were used to estimate trunk kinematics from video recordings collected in a previous prospective study. We explored the relationships between trunk kinematics and health outcomes, and if incorporating trunk kinematics into the revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE) may improve its predictability of LBP risk.

Two of the remaining simplifications, however, are that (1) interactions between terms are not considered and (2) the biomechanical analysis still utilizes a static modelling approach in its calculations.

There is growing evidence, from epidemiological and biomechanical sources, that lifting performed in asymmetric postures is a risk factor for the development of a musculoskeletal injury. In the recent update of the NIOSH Lifting Guide, a linear Asymmetric Multiplier was added to account for this type of risk. The present study addresses the form of this Multiplier through analysis of several asymmetric lifting tasks. Both spinal loading and a derived metric of muscle injury risk were calculated as a function of asymmetry angle. The results suggest that there is a non-linear increase in injury

Abstract:

Manual material handling can improve occupational diseases such as low back pain and musculoskeletal disorders. In an attempt to reduce the risk of injury as a result of such work, NIOSH published the recommended weight limit (RWL) equation. The RWL formulation was made with Europeans and Americans, so this research was conducted to see the suitability of the RWL formulation for Asians, especially Indonesians. The participants of this study were 30 Indonesian women students. The independent variable in this research is the asymmetry multiplier. The participants perform asymmetric lifting in 0,

Abstract:

Lifting is one of the most potentially harmful activities for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), due to exposure to biomechanical risk. Risk assessment for work activities that involve lifting loads can be performed through the NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) method, and specifically the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (RNLE). Aim of this work is to explore the feasibility of a logistic regression model fed with time and frequency domains features extracted from signals acquired through one inertial measurement unit (IMU) to classify risk classes associ
