1. Product development of hand-held scooping utensil for the pharmaceutical industry
Master-uppsats, KTH/ErgonomiSammanfattning : Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common groups of work-related illnesses. At PET Dispensing, AstraZeneca Södertälje, several MSDs had been linked to a specific scooping utensil made of stainless steel. LÄS MER
2. Wrist Angle Estimation Using Two Wearable Inertial Measurement Units
Master-uppsats, KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemSammanfattning : Hand-intensive work is closely related to the prevalence of upper body and hand/wrist work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in office work, manufacturing, service industries, as well as the healthcare industry. Some risk factors include vibrations, forceful exertions, heavy manual handling, repetitive motions, and prolonged nonneutral wrist postures. LÄS MER
3. Improving Objectivity and Reliability of Observational Risk Assessment Tools by using Technical Instruments
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Sammanfattning : Ergonomic assessments to determine risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders as well as to compare designs of work-tasks and workstations, are imperative for high sustainability and productivity in any given industry. Hence, assessment tools that can objectively and reliably capture postures, joint angles and muscle activities play very important role in properly determining risks relating to work and various tasks.

4. Design and Evaluation of an Interactive Individual Ergonomic Report for Surgeons
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Sammanfattning : Surgeons have been identified as one of the highest risk groups in healthcare to develop work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Especially the neck and shoulders are found to be at high musculoskeletal risk due to surgeons commonly operating in a static and awkward posture for a prolonged time. LÄS MER
5. Evaluation of the RAMP Tool’s New Hand Model -Reliability, Usability and Face Validity
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
