The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

We compared different passive exoskeletal designs in terms of physical demands (maximum
acceptable frequency= MAF, perceived discomfort, and muscular loading) and quality in a …

Normative data are of importance in ergonomics and clinical settings. Applying normative
data internationally is questionable. To this end, this study aimed to establish gender-and …

This textbook comprehensively covers the basic principles and most recent advances
regarding visual displays, auditory and tactile displays and controls; psychophysics; …

Assembly workers using handheld powered tightening tools are repetitively subjected to
reaction loads resulting from the tool handle. Despite the vast amount of research, tool …

This methodological paper presents a novel approach to predict operator's mechanical
exposure and fatigue accumulation in discrete event simulations. A biomechanical model of …

The shoulder allows kinematic and muscular changes to facilitate continued task
performance during prolonged repetitive work. The purpose of this work was to examine …

According to the international literature postures, exerted forces, manual handling and
