    Abstract : Vehicle design is characterized by a high number of compromises. The special role of human factors in the process is to ensure that the compromises do not occur at the expense of the driver and passengers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Visual demand in manual task performance - Towards a virtual evaluation

    Author : Tania Dukic; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; working posture; computer manikin software; motion; visual demand;

    Abstract : Visual information is crucial for carrying out motor activities. However, knowledgeabout the effects of visual demand on the performance of manual tasks is not welldocumented. Visual determinants must be identified in order to be used in visualisationand simulation tools (e.g. READ MORE

  7. 5. Working conditions and musculoskeletal disorders in flight baggage handling

    Author : Eva L Bergsten; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Eva Vingård; Lydia Kwak; Margareta Nordin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; low back pain; shoulder pain; physical exposures; psychosocial exposures; inclinometry; implementation; process evaluation; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin; Health-Promoting Work;

    Abstract : Introduction: Baggage handling is considered to be a heavy manual handling job including biomechanical exposures suspected of increasing the risk for musculoskeletal disorders. Aims: To document low back pain (LBP), shoulder pain (SP), and physical and psychosocial factors in baggage handlers, and to evaluate the implementation of an ergonomic intervention aiming to increase the use of loading assist devices.
