Falling injuries pose serious health risks to people of all ages, and knowing the extent of
exposure to irregular surfaces will increase the ability to measure fall risk. Current gait …

Musculoskeletal models may enhance our understanding of the dynamic loading of the
joints during manual material handling. This study used state-of-the-art musculoskeletal …

Static Optimization (SO) procedures are commonly used to estimate muscle forces and joint
loads from kinematics and external force data. The method of modeling hand–mass …

Inertial motion capture (IMC) has gained popularity in conducting ergonomic studies in the
workplace. Because of the need to measure contact forces, most of these in situ studies are …

In industry, ergonomists apply heuristic methods to determine workers' exposure to
ergonomic risks; however, current methods are limited to evaluating postures or measuring …

This study aims to explore the possibility of estimating a multitude of kinematic and dynamic
quantities using subject-specific musculoskeletal models in real-time. The framework was …

Fully automatic postural assessment is highly useful, but has been challenging.
Conventional methods either require manual assessment by ergonomists or depend on …

Work or activity is one of human activity that can not be avoided anymore. One such activity
is the transfer of goods, the process of moving goods occurs both in the company and …

A sensor setup with a small number of sensors, ie, a sparse sensor setup, could enable a
comprehensive unobtrusive motion analysis using inertial motion capture (IMC) with little …

With computer vision technology and prediction of ground reaction forces (GRF), a previous
study performed markerless motion capture and musculoskeletal simulation with two …
