A case study on occupational back-support exoskeletons versatility in lifting and carrying [PDF]

Proceedings of the 14th PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments Conference, 2021
To prevent workers performing manual material handling from developing musculoskeletal disorders, occupational back-support exoskeletons are becoming more and more common in industrial scenarios. However, while their beneficial effects on weight lifting tasks are known, additional work is still needed to make them effective in assisting - or at least ...

The Application of Image Processing to Determine Lift Occupancy

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract Lifts have become an essential device to move people up and down tall buildings every day. However, sometimes the lift still stops even though it is already fully occupied, either with people or objects, and is not able to take in more passengers.

sEMG Spectral Analysis and Machine Learning Algorithms Are Able to Discriminate Biomechanical Risk Classes Associated with Manual Material Liftings

Bioengineering, 2023
Manual material handling and load lifting are activities that can cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders. For this reason, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health proposed an equation depending on the following parameters ...

Combined exposure to lifting and psychosocial strain at work and adverse pregnancy outcomes-A study in the Danish National Birth Cohort. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have investigated physical and psychosocial job exposures separately in relation to foetal growth. We therefore investigated if occupational lifting and psychosocial job strain interact to affect foetal growth and gestational ...

Simple anthropometric and physical performance tests to predict maximal box-lifting ability [PDF]

, 2007
Box-lifting ability is an important characteristic of military personnel. The purpose of this paper was to determine the usefulness of the upright row free weight exercise, and simple anthropometric tests, to predict maximal box-lifting performance that ...

Development of a real time estimation method of L5S1 moments in occupational lifting

Journal of Biomechanics, 2023
Mechanical loading of the low-back is an important risk factor for the development of low-back pain. Real-time estimation of the L5S1 joint moment (ML5S1) can give an insight to reduce mechanical loading. Model accuracy depends on sensor information, limiting the number of input variables to estimate ML5S1 increases practical feasibility, but may ...
