The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between subjective measures of
discomfort and objective measures related to the assessment of postural stresses based on …

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of two different passive back-
support exoskeleton (BSE) designs during repetitive lifting in different postures. Background …

Wearable technologies are gaining momentum and widespread diffusion. Thanks to devices
such as activity trackers, in form of bracelets, watches, or anklets, the end‐users are …

Two passive back-support exoskeleton (BSE) designs were assessed in terms of muscular
activity, energy expenditure, joint kinematics, and subjective responses. Eighteen …

Humans are at the heart of crucial processes in warehouses. Besides the common
economic goal of minimising cycle times, we therefore add in this paper the human well …

Anthropometric and strength data of agricultural workers is very essential for the safe, user-
friendliness and efficient design of farm equipments. This paper presents the review on the …

This study investigated the effect of work pace on workload, motor variability and fatigue
during light assembly work. Upper extremity kinematics and electromyography (EMG) were …

The effects of five new different handle shapes on hand performance capabilities, usability
and discomfort, and also the relationship between these variables were evaluated in the …

The goal of this study was to compare three different evaluation systems of comfort,
discomfort, and a continuum for the force levels and hand regions when gripping hand tools …

This study investigates whether the same factors underlie comfort in using different kinds of
hand tools (screwdrivers, paintbrushes and handsaws). The underlying factors of the hand …
