An ergonomics educational training program to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders to novice and experienced workers in the poultry processing industry: A quasi-experimental study

Michelle Silveira Denadai et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the benefits of ergonomics educational training for novice and experienced workers in preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders in a poultry processing industry. The training reduced musculoskeletal complaints in the neck, back, and wrists, with a decrease in pain intensity in the wrist region. Both novice and experienced workers showed a reduction in occupational biomechanical exposure, with novice workers experiencing a higher reduction in the cutting room. Overall, all workers benefited from the training in the short and medium term, emphasizing the importance of training content and approach in achieving success.

Preliminary Validation of a Low-Cost Motion Analysis System Based on RGB Cameras to Support the Evaluation of Postural Risk Assessment

Thomas Agostinelli et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a low-cost and low computational marker-less motion capture system based on the acquisition of frame images through standard RGB cameras. Experimental results suggest that the proposed system can predict angles with good consistency and provide useful evidence for ergonomists.

OpenPose: Realtime Multi-Person 2D Pose Estimation Using Part Affinity Fields

Zhe Cao et al.

Summary: This work presents a real-time approach to detect the 2D pose of multiple people in an image, achieving high accuracy and real-time performance regardless of the number of people in the image. By refining PAFs separately, both runtime performance and accuracy are significantly improved. Additionally, the first combined body and foot keypoint detector reduces inference time and maintains accuracy compared to running them sequentially.
