Manual material handling as e.g., airport baggage handling is one of the most frequently identified occupational risk factors contributing to musculoskeletal disorders – a widespread work-related health problem. Conduct comprehensive biomechanical analyses of working postures, muscular efforts, and internal body loads with the AnyBody Modeling System, and assess the injury risks that airport workers are subjected to during their daily work routines.
Examples:
- Biomechanical simulation and analysis of working postures, muscular efforts, and internal body loads
- Investigation of spinal loading in common work tasks for baggage handlers
- Shoulder injury risk assessment in airport baggage handlers
- Lumbar load estimation during airport baggage handling
- Injury risk identification during manual material handling
