Industrial challenges described in the Industry 4.0 projects are focused on the importance of the human in a collaboration with the system and particularly with a robot. In this case, the collaborative robotics situation is analysed. By understanding…

In early childhood care settings, the frequent adoption of awkward postures and repetitive manual material handling tasks are biomechanical risk factors for the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Estimating low back intersegmental…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The objective of this study was to develop and validate an ambulatory system for evaluating postures and movement of the upper limb, on the basis of inertial sensors. The use of such systems requires kinematic…

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…

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…

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…

Musculoskeletal disorders affect childcare workers at the lower back and the lower limbs. Childcare professionals lift children while adopting standing, kneeling and squatting postures. The risks associated with lifting from standing postures…

Outline of reasons and objectives
The meat-cutting sector is one of the sectors that is most affected by musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Organisational changes, in particular when subcontracting is used, can mean that employees from a variety…

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…

Research work on the topic of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) has resulted in progress being made in terms of knowledge of their occurrence mechanisms and their prevention modes. Nevertheless, MSDs continue to progress making it necessary to…
