“…The tools list included mainly the following methods for: - Analyzing awkward body postures such as Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA; McAtamney & Corlett, ), Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA; Hignett & McAtamney, ) and Ovako Working Posture Assessment (Karhu, Kans, & Kuorinka, ).
- Evaluating manual material handling activities such as NIOSH Lifting Equation (Waters, Putz‐Anderson, Garg, & Fine, ).
- Evaluating comfort level assessment such as Body Parts Symptoms Survey (BPSS; Corlett & Bishop, ).Another motivation for evaluating discomfort movement is the development of digital human models for the ergonomic design of products, as described by Alkan, Vera, Ahmad, Ahmad, and Harrison (), Boulila, Ayadi, and Mrabet (), and Qutubuddin, Hussain, Kumar, and Reddy (). Thanks to recent progress, it has become easier for ergonomics experts to assess human factors in the planning phase before the design of the workstation (Prádanos, et al, ; Sutari, Nugroho, Yekti, Astuti, & Sari, ). This tool has enabled companies to assess operator performance and safety using 3D human models for digital simulations (Kushwaha & Kane, ; Shamsuddin, Ilyas, Nurhidayat, & Shafee, ).
