Area of Science:

  • Occupational health and safety
  • Biomechanics
  • Artificial intelligence in ergonomics

Background:

  • Assessing worker body posture is crucial for managing musculoskeletal injury risk.
  • Traditional posture measurement methods are impractical for real-world occupational settings.
  • Existing models lack continuous, phase-specific posture prediction for dynamic tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting 3D continuous full-body posture.
  • To focus on load-reaching and load-leaving phases of lifting/lowering activities.
  • To complement previous ANNs for the load-moving phase.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a whole-body motion dataset from 20 healthy novice subjects.
  • Developed four ANNs using task- and subject-specific parameters as inputs.
  • Estimated continuous body coordinates and segment/joint angles.

Main Results:

  • Achieved root-mean-square errors <3 cm and <10° for load-reaching.
  • Achieved root-mean-square errors <4 cm and <15° for load-leaving.
  • Identified higher errors on the left body side and in the latter activity halves.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ANNs enable continuous, phase-specific posture prediction, enhancing ergonomic applications.
  • This approach offers a step towards accessible posture prediction tools in occupational settings.
  • Further research is needed across diverse demographics for broader applicability.
