Identification of Biomechanical Risk Factors for the Development of Lower-Back Disorders during Manual Rebar Tying
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers pose challenges to the productivity and occupational health of the construction industry. To mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, construction ...
Low-Cost Ergonomic Intervention for Mitigating Physical and Subjective Discomfort during Manual Rebar Tying
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry around the globe is facing a massive predicament of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), largely attributed to the excessive physical exertion at worksites. Whereas ergonomic interventions ...
Construction Activity Recognition and Ergonomic Risk Assessment Using a Wearable Insole Pressure System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Overexertion-related construction activities are identified as a leading cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among construction workers. However, few studies have focused on the automated recognition ...
Quantifying the Effect of Mental Stress on Physical Stress for Construction Tasks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because of labor-intensive and physically demanding tasks, construction workers are known to be at a higher risk of developing physical fatigue. Recent studies have shown that construction workers are also often exposed ...
Identification and Classification of Physical Fatigue in Construction Workers Using Linear and Nonlinear Heart Rate Variability Measurements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Several studies have analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) using nonlinear methods, such as approximate entropy, the largest Lyapunov exponent, and correlation dimension in patients with cardiovascular disorders. However, ...
