Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Validity of visual observation to assess posture in a laboratory-simulated, manual material handling task

Notes: Sumario: A wide range of methods to evaluate posture in work situations relies on simple, unaided visual observation. In the present study the validity of visual observation to assess posture in a dynamic job was evaluated. Postural aspects were observed and recorded during a manual materials handling job simulated in a laboratory. The results from these observations, concerning gross body posture, torso flexion, arms and legs position, and load to be handled, were compared to the results obtained by direct opto-electronic recordingRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 8, August 1994 ; p. 1335-1343Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Laboratorios Postura Microscopios Columna vertebral Métodos de análisis Otros autores: Looze, M.P. de
