“…Our study reflected these concerns with the abdominal segment increasing at a much faster rate than WBV for obese individuals. Another area of interest is digital human modeling where significant resources are being invested to investigate human-design interfaces, particularly for equipment and operational machinery, yet the anthropometric scaling of DHMs is largely restricted to 1D measurements despite the models representing a 3D human in a 3D environment (Blanchonette, 2010;Bubb et al, 2006).…”

“…Multidimensional measurements have largely been examined through simple 1D measures, for example, body volume being calculated using waist circumference and BMI (Heymsfield et al, 2008). Even the anthropometric scaling of digital human models (DHMs) such as RAMSIS and Jack are based on 1D anthropometric measurements despite representing a 3D human (Blanchonette, 2010;Bubb et al, 2006).…”

In 2008 the Association of German Engineers (VDI) published the first part of the VDI 4499 guideline for methods and tools for the digital factory. Part 1 of this guideline deals with the fundamentals of the system and will be expanded by the addition of further parts on specific topics within the digital factory. Soon to be published is Part 4 which covers human models as tools of the digital factory. It describes the state of the art of current digital human models with regards to the methods and procedures implemented in German speaking countries. The structure of this part of the guideline is based on the different sections of engineering mechanics and outlines the opportunities for ergonomic assessments and the evaluation of work systems. During the writing of the guideline, the restrictions of the existing procedures also became evident thus showing the requirement for further development of such procedures. This is illustrated in this paper using examples from commercial software systems.

“…Examples of digital human modeling software packages include: Jack, 115 Safework, 116 Anybody, 117 Santos, 118 and RAMSIS. 119 These models have advanced three-dimensional renderings of human avatars, but these are generally surface models that offer modest information about internal loads and stresses, particularly on specific tissues. The major advantage of these tools is the sophisticated graphical interpretation of work tasks within nearly photo-realistic working environments.…”

Background: Occupational shoulder injuries are a concern for society and clinicians. To best treat and assess the influence of physical work tasks on shoulder health, it is necessary to first understand shoulder function and dysfunction, common occupational pathologies, and existing methods to assess and prevent work-related shoulder injuries. Objectives: The objectives of this paper are to present fundamental shoulder biomechanics, discuss known occupational risk factors for shoulder injury, review assessment and prevention techniques for shoulder injuries, and describe the range of tools available to evaluate work tasks for potential physical shoulder stressors.Major findings: The complex shoulder mechanism has a unique role for performing work. Recognition of the delicate balance between creating arm mobility and maintaining joint stability is crucial to understanding how the region can be injured during work. Tools exist to aid clinicians in thinking critically about occupational shoulder injury, and can provide information about both specific and general physical exposures. Conclusions: The shoulder is a complicated assembly of many neuromusculoskeletal elements, and these tissues can be injured in a variety of ways. This paper provides background on the nature of these injuries and discusses preventative strategies available to pragmatically assist clinicians.
