The Correlation Between Biomechanical Loads and Psychophysical Ratings
… last three decades for evaluation and design of manual materials handling tasks in many industries. Despite this, much is still not known about how subjective ratings, the core of the psychophysical methodology, relate to physical (biomechanical) loads. A fundamental assumption of this method is …

Musculoskeletal Modeling of Back-Support Exoskeletons: Comparative Evaluation of Spine Loads, Muscle Activity, and Optimization Strategies
… of lost workdays in the United States, with manual lifting identified as a primary occupational risk factor. Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) have emerged as a promising ergonomic intervention to reduce spinal loading during lifting tasks. While prior studies indicate reductions in trunk …

Armband EMG-based Lifting Detection and Load Classification Algorithms using Static and Dynamic Lifting Trials
… biomechanical risk exposures. In terms of lifting, the occupational work environment does not provide resources for recording the start and end times of lifting tasks performed by individual workers. As a result, automatic detection of lift starts and ends is required for practical …

Quantifying the Participatory Ergonomic Effects of Training and a Work Analysis Tool on Operator Performance and Well-Being
… in which participants analyzed and redesigned a manual material handling job. The effects of this PE approach were quantified by measuring a reduction of risk factors associated with the job and by measuring a lift index of the lifting task that indicates a risk for injury. Many authors state or …
