A Study on Muscle Fatigue Associated with Awkward Posture among Workers in Aerospace Industry [PDF]
Advanced Engineering Forum, 2013 In aerospace industry, many tasks required manufacturing workers to perform their works in awkward posture. Awkward posture is a practical working posture when joints are not in neutral position such as lifting heavy products, reaching materials, bending forward their back when doing jobs, and pushing or pulling excessive loads because those tasks ...

Using an Impact Wrench in Different Postures—An Analysis of Awkward Hand–Arm Posture and Vibration
ICHAV 2023, 2023 Overhead work and awkward hand–arm posture can impact muscle load. Additional workloads such as hand–arm vibration exposure while carrying or holding a power tool can contribute to adverse health effects. This study investigated the posture and muscle activity of 11 subjects while using an impact wrench in three working directions: upwards, forwards ...

Effectiveness of Ergonomic Training to Decrease Awkward Postures during Dental Scaling Procedures: A Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Studies demonstrate that there is a lack of effective ergonomic principles for adopting a neutral posture during the execution of dental procedures. ISO 11.226:2000 Standard, Corr. 1:2006 has been thoroughly evaluated and adapted to the way that dentists work by the European Society of Dental Ergonomics (ESDE).

Sagittal Posture Parameters of the Spine and Exposure to Awkward Postures in Mattress Manufacture Workers: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
J Funct Morphol KinesiolBackground: Awkward postures are among the most prevalent ergonomic risk factors in occupational environments, including industrial settings. Conventional ergonomic risk assessments rarely address the relationship between sustained awkward postures and alterations in sagittal spinal curvatures.

Analysis of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Muscle Stresses on Construction Workers’ Awkward Postures Using Simulation [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 The negligence involved in musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) at construction sites results in high rates of muscle injuries. This paper presents findings identified by the MSD for each part of a worker’s body, categorizing the awkward postures of each body part, estimating muscle stresses, and establishing the benchmark using anthropometry and hand force ...

WORKLOAD AND AWKWARD POSTURE PROBLEMS AMONG SMALL-SCALE STRAWBERRY FARMERS IN JAPAN
Journal of Human Ergology, 2009 Farmers handle heavy workloads, often in awkward postures and experiencing some work related problems. Farmers perceive them as no more than inevitable consequences of farming activities. Although many problems can be prevented or reduced by simple and inexpensive modifications to work, these problems are increasing among farmers. The main focus of the

Adolescent Awkwardness: Alterations in Temporal Control Characteristics of Posture with Maturation and the Relation to Movement Exploration [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 A phenomenon called adolescent awkwardness is believed to alter motor control, but underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Since adolescents undergo neurological and anthropometrical changes during this developmental phase, we hypothesized that adolescents control their movements less tightly and use a different coordinative structure compared to

Musculoskeletal model of awkward carrying postures
Cogent Engineering, 2016 Abstract Improper posture of carrying loads can cause low back disorders. This study investigates the impact of using a footstool in spinal force and muscle activity when: (1) pushing/pulling load farther/nearer from the body and (2) twisting the trunk while carrying load.

Ergonomic Risk Prediction for Awkward Postures From 3D Keypoints Using Deep Learning
IEEE Access, 2023 Work-related musculoskeletal ailments are injuries or disorders of the joints, muscles, nerves, or tendons caused by repetitive tasks and jobs that require uncomfortable postures. REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) is a widely used assessment method for examining occupational ergonomics in areas where musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common.
