Summary
The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method is increasingly used globally to identify worker posture risks. This ergonomic tool is often combined with other methods, indicating a trend towards sustainable workplace improvements.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health and Safety
- Ergonomics
- Industrial Engineering
Background:
- The Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is a widely recognized ergonomic assessment method.
- Identifying and mitigating workplace physical risks is crucial for employee well-being and productivity.
- A comprehensive review of REBA's global application is needed to understand its usage patterns and impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a worldwide literature review on the application of the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method.
- To quantify the frequency of REBA's combined use with other assessment techniques.
- To analyze the incidence and trends associated with REBA implementation.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search was performed using the Web of Science-Core Collection database.
- Inclusion criteria focused on scientific articles and bibliographic reviews mentioning the REBA method.
- A total of 314 documents were analyzed, with 91 selected for detailed review.
Main Results:
- REBA is predominantly utilized in "Manufacturing" (24.18%), "Agriculture, forestry and fishing" (21.98%), and "Other activities" (19.78%).
- The method effectively assesses various body parts, including upper limbs, lower extremities, trunk, and neck, to identify forced postures.
- REBA application has shown a significant increase in the last decade, likely driven by knowledge digitization.
Conclusions:
- The use of the REBA method has grown substantially over the past ten years.
- REBA is frequently employed in conjunction with other ergonomic assessment tools.
- The application of REBA can serve as a positive indicator for company sustainability and improved occupational health.

281
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
