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. A New Approach for Positioning Human Body Models Utilising the 3D-Graphics Program Blender
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystemSammanfattning : A finite element human body model (FE HBM) is a detailed virtual model of the human body that, for example, is used for simulating traffic accidents. A problem with HBMs is that there is no simple way to position the HBMs in non-standard positions. LÄS MER
3. 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
4. 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.
