Using the score of each body part posture in group A, locate the score in table A to assign a group A posture score. This score is then added to the muscle use score and the force/load score which assigns the wrist and arm Score. Using the score of each body part posture in group B, locate the score in table B to assign a group B posture score.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to ergonomics: Ergonomics – study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.
Computer-aided ergonomics is an engineering discipline using computers to solve complex ergonomic problems involving interaction between the human body and its environment. The human body holds a great complexity thus it can be beneficial to use computers to solve problems involving the human body and the environment that surrounds it.
