The Movement Profile of Habitual Vacuuming as a Cyclic Movement—A Pilot Study

Abstract: Background: Vacuum cleaning, which is associated with musculoskeletal complaints, is frequently carried out in private households and by professional cleaners. The aim of this pilot study was to quantify the movements during habitual vacuuming and to characterize the movement profile with regard to its variability. Methods: The data were collected from 31 subjects (21 f/10 m) using a 3D motion analysis system (XSens). Eight vacuum cleaners were used to vacuum polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and carpet floors. In 15 j… Show more

“…Moreover, its reliability and feasibility for assessing human movement are recognized and designed for intuitive use [15]. This technology has been applied in studies focused on work tasks and/or conditions that increase the risk for WMSD occurrence [19,20]. Previous studies demonstrate that the IMU is a promising technology for motion analysis and WMSD risk assessment in several occupational contexts, such as clinical practices [21], automotive assembly [22], farming activities [23], and humanrobot collaboration settings [24].…”
