Abstract:

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders constitutes a substantial burden for society, generating individual suffering and financial costs. Quantifying the musculoskeletal stress and establishing exposure-response relationships is an important step in facing this problem. Observational methods for assessing exposure in the field of ergonomics have shown poor results, and the technical measurement methods that exists are often complicated to use which limits their scope to scientific purposes. This work describes the development of a prototype measurement system aimed to simplify ambulatory measu

Abstract:

Os Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (DORT) acometem a saúde do trabalhador, desde a década de 90, gerando ocorrências num grande número de pessoas, em diferentes países e diversas atividades, sendo um dos casos mais evidenciados no contexto ocupacional. Trabalhadores sujeitos a cargas de trabalho semelhantes, que desempenham a mesma atividade, podem apresentar variações significativas no seu estado de saúde relacionado ao trabalho. Uma forma eficaz de reduzir o número de casos de DORT é a prevenção, que só se torna efetiva se for participativa e abrangente e se minimizar os

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) frequently affect the health and well-being of workers and can hinder growth in the industrial sector. Research indicates that user requirements to reduce workplace risk factors for MSDs are not always effectively conveyed to practitioners of design. This creates a mismatch between these requirements and what is ultimately produced. Quality function deployment (QFD) is a structured collaborative design approach, widely used in industry. The aim of this research was to explore the potential of a QFD-based design tool to enhance such communication in the design p

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) continue to present a substantial personal and economic burden. Biomarkers, in providing objective measures of physiological changes, may offer advantages over current tools for WMSD risk assessment. Existing work has identified biomarkers of cartilage and muscle damage, and demonstrated responsiveness to various forms of physical activity and biomechanical loading.

The work environment of today is synonymous with stress, fatigue and exhaustion. As a result, the incidence of workplace injury and disease is increasingly commonplace. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is the most common form of work–related ill–health. If the symptoms are not recognised and addressed early, serious and more chronic manifestations of the symptoms can emerge, subsequently affecting the quality and duration of a persons' working life. RSI also has significant implications for organisations in terms of lost productivity, drops in work quality and costly compensation claims. Althoug

Abstract:

Les facteurs de risque de troubles musculo-squelettiques(TMS) tels que les facteurs physiques, organisationnels et psychosociaux sont un défi commun pour les industries de l'assemblage automobile qui entrainent des effets indésirables sur le système et les humains. L’ergonomie a déjà été intégrée dans les systèmes de production de ces industries pour la prise en charge de la prévention des TMS. La question est de savoir si l'approche ergonomique actuelle des industries automobiles, sur la base de normes à l'entreprise et des méthodes d'observation, peut fournir une connaissance partagée des fa

Abstract:

RESUMO - A morbilidade associada às lesões músculo-esqueléticas da coluna lombar é estimada em 0,8 milhões de DALYS em todo o mundo, constituindo-se a maior causa de absentismo ao trabalho, o que induz uma enorme perda económica. Os profissionais de saúde são um grupo vulnerável a ocorrência de lesões-músculo-esqueléticas ligadas ao trabalho (LMELT), nomeadamente aqueles que mobilizam os doentes no seu dia-a-dia. Perante a frequente perspetiva da imutabilidade da situação de trabalho, a pressão organizacional na prestação de cuidados e o reduzido número de recursos humanos, subsiste a impleme

Abstract:

An ergonomically designed work environment may decrease work related musculoskeletal disorders, lead to less sick leaves and increase production time for operators and companies all around the world. Volvo Construction Equipment wants to deepen the knowledge and investigate more carefully how operators are actually sitting whilst operating the machines, how this affects placement of controls and furthermore optimize controls placements accordingly. The purpose is to enhance their product development process by suggesting guidelines for control placement with improved ergonomics based on operat

Abstract:

Les troubles musculo-squelettiques de l’épaule constituent un problème majeur de santé au travail. Le principal mécanisme à l’origine de ces pathologies est le conflit sous-acromial, dont le développement est intimement lié à la qualité du contrôle neuromusculaire de l’épaule. Nos données montrent que les tâches expérimentales classiquement utilisées pour l’exploration des facteurs de développement du conflit sous-acromial sont insuffisantes pour rendre compte de la complexité du contrôle neuromusculaire mis en jeu lors des tâches industrielles. Il semble primordial que les actions de lutte co

Abstract:

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) due to overexertion and consequently the low back pain (LBP) are one of the most prevalent sources of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in all over the world. In the past several years, the industrial exoskeletons especially the passive ones have been proposed as alternative intervention and assistive devices, which are capable of reducing the risk of WMSDs and LBP. However, more research is warranted to validate the applicability of these exoskeletons. In addition, because the majority of previous studies have been limited to specific
