Preliminary Examination of the Ability of a New Wearable Device to Capture Functional Hand Activity After Stroke
Background and Purpose— A reliable measure of movement repetitions is required to assist in determining the optimal dose for maximizing upper limb recovery after stroke. This study investigated the ability of a new wearable device to capture reach-to-grasp repetitions in individuals with stroke. Methods— Eight individuals with stroke wore an instrumented wrist bracelet while ...

Fractional factorial analysis of lifting and carrying tasks on postural score to investigate the effect of contributing parameters and their interactions
This laboratory experiment examines the effect of four lifting and carrying task parameters: load weight; lifting frequency; vertical lifting distance; and obstructions en route and their interactions on the posture score measured using the rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) methodology. In this simulation study, four shop floor workers lifted weights in 27 different combinations of lifting ...

Simplified procedure to analyse work posture of foundry men through the rapid upper limb assessment
Foundries are considered to be among the most hazardous of manufacturing environments. Various foundry activities involve handling heavy objects such as moulds or castings. These activities may cause Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to improper work postures. In this paper, a biomechanics approach is proposed to evaluate the work posture and provide a safe working environment. This will help ...
