"Bioinstrumentation Applications in Occupational Biomechanics"
ABSTRACT
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) account for roughly 60%
of money paid by employers for job-related disabilities/injuries. Occupational
Biomechanics is the study of the human body, it's underlying structures and
how the tissues which make up the body are affected by work.
This talk will present how various ways hardware and software tools are used
to measure human performance and the physical exposures placed on the body
during occupational work.
