Abstract:
Low back pain is one of the most common physical symptom and is frequently related with an abnormal body posture. It may be caused by poor upper body and limb coordination; repetitive lifting of heavy objects or poor working are ergonomics. This study analysis the consequence of repetitive heavy lifting on the normal standing posture of factory workers. To asses the posture malformations the Microsoft Kinect sensor was used to obtain postural data from 88 factory workers. The study has shown that more than 90% of the study group has some sort of postural malformation and lower back pain.
