Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Ergonomics
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Work-related musculoskeletal disorders pose a global challenge.
  • Preventive measures are crucial for individual and organizational well-being.
  • Existing methods for risk assessment and training require enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a sensor-based Smart Workwear System for ergonomic risk assessment and training.
  • To assess the efficacy of a haptic feedback module for improving work techniques in manual handling.
  • To investigate the potential of wearable technology in reducing adverse movements and postures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modular, sensor-based Smart Workwear System.
  • Evaluation of a haptic feedback module using simulated mail sorting with 16 novice participants.
  • Measurement of upper-arm postures via inertial measurement units (IMUs).
  • Assessment of perceived pain/discomfort using the Borg CR10 scale and user experience via interviews.

Main Results:

  • Haptic feedback training significantly reduced time spent in adverse upper-arm postures after short training periods.
  • Participants found the haptic feedback usable and experienced it positively.
  • The system effectively supported learning and improvement of postures and movements.

Conclusions:

  • Sensorized workwear with haptic feedback is a promising tool for ergonomic interventions.
  • The system is particularly valuable for training new employees and those in physically demanding roles.
  • This technology can enhance ergonomics training and reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders.
