Implementation of Kinetic and Kinematic Variables in Ergonomic Risk Assessment Using Motion Capture Simulation: A Review

Abstract

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are among the most common disorders in any work sector and industry. Ergonomic risk assessment can reduce the risk of WMSDs. Motion capture that can provide accurate and real-time quantitative data has been widely used as a tool for ergonomic risk assessment. However, most ergonomic risk assessments that use motion capture still depend on the traditional ergonomic risk assessment method, focusing on qualitative data. Therefore, this article aims to provide a view on the ergonomic risk assessment and apply current motion capture technology to understand classical mechanics of physics that include velocity, acceleration, force, and momentum in ergonomic risk assessment. This review suggests that using motion capture technologies with kinetic and kinematic variables, such as velocity, acceleration, and force, can help avoid inconsistency and develop more reliable results in ergonomic risk assessment. Most studies related to the physical measurement conducted with motion capture prefer to use non-optical motion capture because it is a low-cost system and simple experimental setup. However, the present review reveals that optical motion capture can provide more accurate data.

Added value of motion capture technology for occupational health and safety innovations

“…for static and ±1.2 deg for dynamic analysis) (Bańkosz & Winiarski, 2021;Teufl et al, 2019). It is alleged that inertial motion capture technology is low cost and more potable than markerless optical technology, but the system's accuracy must be assured (Karatsidis et al, 2016;Yunus et al, 2021).…”

A Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) Risk-Assessment System Using a Single-View Pose Estimation Model

“…Although motion-capture systems can provide accurate data in ergonomic risk assessments [ 41 ], single-view three-dimensional (3D) pose estimation is a method of estimating 3D human pose from the input of a single RGB image. Because of a difficulty to attach motion-capture systems to manufacturing workers, single-view 3D pose estimation is attractive for acquiring and analyzing human motions with a simple image-capturing system.…”

Principais sintomas das doenças osteomioarticulares apresentadas por operadores de caixa de supermercados: revisão integrativa

“…A doença musculoesquelética (DOM) é responsável por causar danos aos músculos, tendões, articulações, ligamentos, ossos, nervos e sistemas vasculares, ocasionando a danificação do sistema musculoesquelético ou desequilíbrios funcionais. As queixas apontadas estão relacionadas aos movimentos repetitivos realizados nas longas jornadas de trabalho, assim como as posições inadequadas, produzindo sintomatologia como desconforto físico e dor, que atreladas aos problemas de saúde mental e estilo de vida adquiridos nesse ambiente, contribuem para a manifestação de doenças osteomusculares (DORT) (Soares et al, 2019.;Yunus et al, 2021).…”
