Evaluation of MSD biomechanical risk factors: the use of inertial sensors EL2013-022/C2015-094 | 2015

In order to propose consistent solutions for musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) prevention, the evaluation of biomechanical risk factors is needed. Different measurements systems are available at this end including optoelectronic systems…
Upper limb kinematics and inertial sensors: which calibration for the best accuracy? EL2013-022/C2014-125 | 2014

Introduction: Magneto-Inertial Measurement Unit sensors (MIMU) are increasingly used in motion analysis as they allow for ambulatory measurements. One of the research points that deserve more investigation for MIMU-based upper limb kinematics…
Hand position estimation using inertial sensors EL2013-022/C2015-096 | 2015

Magneto-Inertial Measurement Units sensors (MIMU) are more and more used in various applications, including ergonomics, as they allow for ambulatory measurements. Despite much interest from the scientific community in this topic, several aspects…
Benefits of functional calibration for estimating elbow joint angles using magneto-inertial sensors: preliminary results EL2013-022/C2014-032 | 2014

Magneto-Inertial Measurement Unit (M-IMU) sensors are more and more used in motion analysis as they allow for “Out-of-the lab” measurements. This technology requires a calibration process to transform sensor movement data in anatomical information…
A growth model of small artery for the vibration induced Raynaud syndrome situation. EL2014-004/C2015-046 | 2015

This paper presents a method of modeling cell growth phenomenon of the arterial wall exposed to vibration. The arteries constantly adapt their morphology to counter the effects of internal disorders or external stresses. It is assumed that…
Movement variability highlighted during an assembly activity ET2014-001/C2015-098 | 2015

Movement variability is often neglected when analysing work situations. It is also practically ignored when designing work situations, designers being focused on the aim of defining standard procedures that minimize production cycle times…
Assessment of physical workload: muscular activity vs. resultant external force NOETUDE/C2015-099 | 2015

Our study compared muscular activity and resultant external force measurements during a clip fitting activity. Clips were inserted with two methods: with bare hands and with a pneumatic tool. Measurements were compared with the thresholds…
Effect of time constraint on performance speed of a repetitive assembly task according to age C.5/1.049/C2015-097 | 2015

Repetitive work at required pace, as observed on assembly lines, is often characterized by reduced amounts of temporal margin of maneuver (TMM). Various epidemiological studies have shown that working under time constraints is particularly…
How much force do you need to do it? NOETUDE/C2013-171 | 2013

For ergonomical, purpose, we looked at posture and vertical force applied on a workstation when doing a standing repetitive assembly task at different rhythm and as a matter of age. These two factors seem to increase the vertical force used to make…
Mixed approach for MSD prevention: a meat cutting study C.5/1.048/C2015-095 | 2015

The cutting performance of a knife is considered as one of the determinants of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in the meat cutting sector (Claudon and Marsot 2003; McGorry, Dowd et al. 2003). It is affected by knife maintenance and its organisation…
