Exposure assessment of biomechanical stress in repetitive manual work using frequency-weighted filters / R.G. Radwin, M.L. Lin and T.Y. Yen

Sumario: A quantitative exposure assessment strategy for physical stress associated with repetitive manual tasks is proposed using continous biomechanical data measured directly form electrogoniometers or force sensors. This paper describes an efficient method for reducing large quantities of biomechanical data into a quantifiable metric that accounts for recognized musculoskeletal exposure factors, including repetitiveness, postural for forceful exertion stress, and duration
