Abstract |
This paper presents a computerized programme for analyzing work postures in agriculture. The system contains two types of routines for studies of observation, Working Posture Analysing System (WOPALAS) and a simple video film technique for Registration and Analysis of working postures and movements (VIRA). Furthermore, the system consists of programmes for moment calculations and routines for registration of problems in the locomotive organs. The computerized system provides several advantages compared with traditional manual systems. It is less demanding for the operator and the analyses are more accurate. The system rapidly provides the results of an analysis. The system can be advantageously used in ergonomic research and teaching as well as by company health service centres. |
