  1. 1. Evaluation of the RAMP Tool’s New Hand Model -Reliability, Usability and Face Validity

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Dina Burghol; [2023]
    Keywords : Hand-Intensive Work; RAMP Tool; Observation-based Risk Assessment tools; reliability; Usability; Face Validity.;

    Abstract : Hand-intensive work significantly correlates with the increased risks of developing Distal upper-extremity (DUE) Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. Many studies have investigated the physical risk factors and their contribution to the occurrence of the DUE WMSDs. READ MORE

    Abstract : Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to traffic accidents. Upper extremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to be able to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as a complement to FE simulations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Combination of IMU and EMG for object mass estimation using machine learning and musculoskeletal modeling

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Claire Diaz; [2020]
    Keywords : Musculoskeletal Disorders MSD ; Ergonomic assessment; Electromyography EMG ; Inertial Measurement Unit IMU ; Mass estimation; Machine Learning; Musculoskeletal modeling;

    Abstract : One of the causes of work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) is the manual handling of heavy objects. To reduce the risk of such injuries, workers are instructed to follow general guidelines on how to lift and carry objects depending on their mass. READ MORE
