Quantitative postural load assessment for whole body manual tasks based on perceived discomfort / Min K. Chung, I. Lee, Dohyung Kee

A postural load assessment system was then developed based on a macro - postural classification scheme. The classification scheme was constructed based on perceived discomfort for various joint motions as well as previous research outcomes. On the basis of the perceived discomfort, postural stress levels for the postures at individual joints were also defined by a ratio scale to the standing neutral posture. The proposed method was implemented into a computer software program in order to automate the procedure of analysing postural load and to enhance usability and practical applicability
