Evaluating an interprofessional ergonomic intervention for Dental Hygiene students
<p>Purpose: Ergonomics plays an important role in identifying and reducing biomechanical stress and preventing musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries by creating a better fit between physical requirements and work environments. This study examined the benefits of implementing an interprofessional education …

Evaluation of Circumferential Ankle Pressure as an Ergonomic Intervention to Maintain Balance Perturbed by Localized Muscular Fatigue of the Ankle Joint
… the results suggest a potential for CAP as an ergonomic intervention in controlling fatigue-related fall incidents, though conclusive recommendations for use are not justified.

Musculoskeletal Modeling of Back-Support Exoskeletons: Comparative Evaluation of Spine Loads, Muscle Activity, and Optimization Strategies
… exoskeletons (BSEs) have emerged as a promising ergonomic intervention to reduce spinal loading during lifting tasks. While prior studies indicate reductions in trunk muscle activity with BSE use, experimental evaluations were often limited by constraints on measuring muscle activity via surface …

Biomechanical Analysis and Modeling of Back-Support Exoskeletons for Use in Repetitive Lifting Tasks
… Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are a promising ergonomic intervention to mitigate LBP risk, by reducing muscular exertion and spine loading. The purpose of this work was to help better understand both the "intended" and "unintended" consequences of BSE use on physical risk factors for LBP, as an …

Assessing the Effects of Exoskeletons on Physical Demands, Trip and Slip Risks, and User Perceptions in Manual Mining Tasks
… Occupational exoskeletons (EXOs) are a promising ergonomic intervention to mitigate WMSD risk, by reducing physical demands and improving work performance. The purpose of this dissertation was to assess the potential benefits of using EXOs for addressing health and safety challenges encountered by …
