Construction worker's awkward posture recognition through supervised motion tensor decomposition
Automation in Construction, 2017 Abstract Awkward postures in construction activities pose substantial hazards in both instantaneous injuries and long-term work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Posture recognition using motion capturing systems shows promising potential in avoiding and minimizing workers' exposure to awkward postures.

Causal assessment of awkward occupational postures and low back pain: results of a systematic review
Spine Journal, 2010Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and costly musculoskeletal disorder that often occurs in the working-age population. Although numerous physical activities have been implicated in its complex etiology, determining causation remains challenging and requires a methodologically rigorous approach.To conduct a systematic review of the scientific ...

Force exertion in awkward working postures-strength capability while twisting or working overhead
Ergonomics, 1997Isometric strength data have been collected for three of the awkward work situations often imposed by workplace constraints in industry, as found in jobs such as maintenance and repair. The effects of the task layout factors (location of the workpiece, reach distance and direction of force exertion) were investigated and the data has been tabulated to ...

Dairy Farm Worker Exposure to Awkward Knee Posture During Milking and Feeding Tasks
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2010Musculoskeletal disorders are common among agricultural workers, particularly among dairy farm workers. Specifically, dairy farm workers have been identified as being at risk for knee osteoarthritis. Physical risk factors that may contribute to knee osteoarthritis include awkward postures of the knee, such as kneeling or squatting.

Analysis awkward posture at food production activity using RULA assessment [PDF]
, 2018 If the workers continuously perform the activities throughout the working hours, they may experience prolonged standing which creates fatigue and causes an occupational hazard which includes slips and falls. The goal of this study was to identify awkward postures during food production activities. 40 workers with minimum of 1 year experience working in

Automation in Construction, 2018
Abstract Awkward working postures are the main risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) causing non-fatal occupational injuries among construction workers. However, it remains a challenge to use existing risk assessment methods for detecting and classifying awkward working postures because these methods are either intrusive or ...

Motorcycling: Awkward Posture Is the Best Posture!
AHFE International, 2021A study has documented that there are only four possible working postures for motorcycling, yet, all of these postures are argued by another study to be generally “unfitting” for human and hence a negative option as a mode of daily transportation. Even so, contradictory to this statement, motorcycle as a mode of transportation is becoming even more ...

Awkward work postures: Association with occupational gender segregation
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2005Segregation of men and women into different jobs is often cited as one of the most plausible explanations for gender differences in exposure and musculoskeletal disorders.Direct measurements of sitting, arm, and trunk postures were taken with two different technical instruments on 156 subjects (78 matched pairs of one female and one male worker) over ...
