Area of Science:

  • Ergonomics and Occupational Health
  • Biomechanics and Motion Analysis
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Ergonomic risk assessments for upper limb activities are crucial for preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Traditional methods can be time-consuming and require specialized setups.
  • Advancements in motion capture technology offer potential for more efficient and accurate assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate an inertial motion capture system for ergonomic risk assessment.
  • To digitalize the Occupational Cost Reduction Assessment (OCRA) index using a specialized platform.
  • To compare the efficiency and accuracy of the inertial system against traditional and optical motion capture methods.

Main Methods:

  • An 18-unit inertial motion capture system was deployed in a Bluetooth Low Energy network.
  • Activities were recorded and analyzed for risk using a platform that digitalized the OCRA index.
  • The inertial system's performance was compared to optical motion capture and conventional risk classification techniques in a semi-controlled environment.

Main Results:

  • The optical system closely aligned with the traditional method, demonstrating high accuracy.
  • The inertial system showed a small error margin (±0.098) compared to the optical system, with consistent risk classification across all methods.
  • The inertial system achieved high F1-scores (0.97 for 'risk', 1 for 'no risk') and reduced assessment time by 65%.

Conclusions:

  • The inertial motion capture system offers a portable, user-friendly, and efficient alternative for ergonomic risk assessments.
  • Its precision rivals traditional and optical methods, significantly reducing assessment time and complexity.
  • This technology has strong potential to enhance workplace safety and reduce the incidence of upper limb disorders.
