“…In direct sensing measurement, various sensor(s) are attached to the body parts of workers; these approaches outperform the two approaches in terms of measurement accuracy. The accuracy may be augmented by hybridizing the measurement method with Microsoft Kinect Cameras for efficient real-time motion analysis [9,10]. Vision-based analysis allows for precise motion tracking along with biomechanical parameter measurements that use devices such as tapes and goniometers, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), electrodes for electromyography (EMG), and magnetoresistive sensors.…”

The negligence involved in musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) at construction sites results in high rates of muscle injuries. This paper presents findings identified by the MSD for each part of a worker’s body, categorizing the awkward postures of each body part, estimating muscle stresses, and establishing the benchmark using anthropometry and hand force data. MSDs and their corresponding frequencies were identified by administering the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) survey, which solicits responses regarding construction workers’ awkward postures. Musculoskeletal stresses were estimated using three-dimensional static strength prediction program (3D SSPP) biomechanical software. The new benchmarks were established for existing preventive measures using the anthropometry and hand force data. Workers suffering from different body muscle pains in awkward postures may be predicted using the compression forces magnitude, strength capability, and body balance. The model was verified by comparing its outputs with the survey analysis results. The study is of value to practitioners because it provided a means to understand the contemporary scenario of MSD and to establish a practical benchmark based on the physical capability of workers. It is relevant to researchers because it digitally predicts MSD and facilitates experimentation with different dimensions, thereby contributing to construction productivity improvement. Test cases validate the prediction method.

“…With this model, we can also do posture optimization using worker fatigue and comfort indexes [11] as well the maximum endurance time for static posture [12] or dynamic posture [13]. This method was partially applied in an OpenSim model to study fatigue while walking in [14].…”

Biomechanical motion simulation and kinectic analysis of human joints and muscles provide insights into Musculoskeletal disorders. OpenSim is an open-source platform that give easy access to biomechanical analysis, especially of muscles. The biomechanical analysis in OpenSim is based on pre-defined human models. Among the dozens of models available right now, none covers the muscles and joints of all the body parts. In view of the fact that most human motions are systemic, the lack of a comprehensive model prohibits synthesized and systematical biomechanical analysis. The aim of this research is to develop an OpenSim model which enables the full-chain dynamic analysis of tasks involving multi-bodies. The model is developed based on two existing models. It consists of 45 body segments, 424 muscles and 39 degrees of freedom. The model was then used to simulate an overhead drilling task. Six drilling postures are analyzed, and the estimated joint moments and muscle activations are compared.
