“…Thus, support-taking improves the capability to exert load by helping in maintaining balance. Other than that, it has been observed in [6] that leaning towards the target can improve the exertion capability of the arm because it may favour an elbow-angle that is optimal for exertion.…”

Support taking through bracing or leaning while performing manual tasks is known to enhance the capability of the operator. However, simulation of this natural and biomechanically signicant behaviour in a DHM environment is either not possible or calls for signicant expertise and planning on the part of the simulation engineer. While manual simulation is time-consuming and error-prone, an algorithmic procedure is expected to enhance eciency and versatility in the simulation of diverse work environments and what-if scenarios. This paper presents a computational method for determining the location of and reaction at a support point on a given surface that is most advantageous for performing a task. The method also evaluates dierent possible support combinations and the associated optimal postures for performing a given task. The method is illustrated through one-handed reach and supported sitting tasks. Given the task and the environment, the simulation is performed without the need for any user intervention.

“…The works by [10] and [9] describe the technique of computing supported-posture along with SRFs by considering the SRF as an optimisation variable when the location of support-contact is given. [2], [6] and [16] performed empirical studies and developed regression models to predict when and how the human will take support for a given task and anthropometry. Since the regression model is built on a selected set of tasks and environments, it may not be applicable for alternate scenarios.…”

“…It is observed in [6] and [16] that, through leaning or bracing, the maximum reach of the hand is increased by counteracting the destabilising moment incurred during extreme reach eorts. [17] observed that allowing bracing during force exertion task improved the force exertion capability.…”
