In all human movements, in particular those related to work activities, variability is observed. Even for a repetitive task, trajectories, muscular activities, or exerted forces are never identical, both for different people and for the same person…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The computer is in common use at work. In 2010, in France, 52% of workers used a computer at work and 23% of them remained in front of a screen for 20 hours or more per week. If the computer is in common use, then so is the mouse…

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…

Movement variability is an essential characteristic of human movement: the same motor task is never performed in exactly the same way twice. This variability is related to the numerous redundancies in the human locomotor system, and depends…

Movement variability is an essential characteristic of human movement. However, despite its prevalence, it is almost completely ignored in workstation design. Neglecting this variability can lead to skip over parts of the future operator’s…

Ergonomic methods for biomechanical risk factors assessment during work activity are usually based on human operator’s postures and forces while performing the work task. A basic analysis of the task can rely on questionnaires, interviews…

Digital human models can be used for biomechanical risk factors assessment of a workstation and work activity design for which there is no physical equipment that can be tested using actual human postures and forces. Yet, using digital human…

Digital humans are software tools used for work equipment design. They can simulate the future workers’ activity and assess the workplace ergonomics. They therefore offer genuine advantages when prevention (safety and health) is to be integrated…

Most occupational risks manifest themselves through movements performed at work, for example musculoskeletal disorders, slips, trips and falls. Research focusing on such risks often differentiates diseases from accidents. All these risks…
