“…Other HFE methods and approaches have been utilised in the design of HFE courses. For example, in Mexico, Avila-Chaurand et al (2018) responded to industry needs in their development of a Master's programme. A range of evidence was collected to inform the development of the programme, including surveys of industry representatives to ascertain requirements of graduates and the expected demand.…”

Tertiary education in ergonomics and human factors: quo vadis?

et al. 2019

In 2019, the Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) discipline turned 70; to celebrate, an international group of academics and educators have reflected on the status of HFE tertiary education across the globe. This paper draws on presentations and discussions from the 20 th Triennial International Ergonomics Association (IEA) conference and considers the implications for HFE education programmes. Past, current, and future challenges are outlined and discussed with examples from different countries and programmes. This paper builds on a 2012 strategy (Dul et al., 2012), to strengthen the demand, and application, of the HFE discipline and profession. It provides a considered set of reflections, noting the range of structural issues and financial pressures within the tertiary education system that create challenges for the viability of specialist programmes such as HFE. A need exists for the broader profession to collaborate and share innovations in HFE programme development, to ensure sustainable HFE education programs.

Desarrollo de dispositivos de rehabilitación para discapacidad motriz centrados en el usuario

et al. 2023

Este artículo plantea una propuesta para el diseño de dispositivos de rehabilitación basada en el diseño centrado en el usuario implementando métodos de la ergonomía y el diseño. A través de estudio de caso, se ejemplificaron las actividades de diseño y se valoró la propuesta mediante un análisis biomecánico, descartando riesgos de lesión por exceder las capacidades de flexibilidad de las articulaciones, mientras que un análisis postural descartó riesgos (nivel de actuación 2) en extremidades superiores por malas posturas durante la utilización del dispositivo. Se valoró la fuerza requerida para la utilización de la ayuda funcional y se analizaron los rangos de movimiento, velocidad y ángulos. En conclusión, la estructura de la propuesta se puede tomar como una alternativa para el desarrollo de dispositivos de rehabilitación en personas con discapacidad en las extremidades inferiores.

Robotic gait retraining systems typically function by employing mechanisms that move a patient’s lower limbs in a controlled manner. In this paper, an end-effector gait retraining system was designed, utilizing a 2-PRR mechanism (PRR refers to the structure of each robot’s limb, consisting of an active prismatic pair (P) and two passive rotational pairs (RR) pairs). The mechanism, which corresponds to a parallel robot, was synthesized through visual design tools (design atlases) to evaluate performance indices, such as the workspace size, local and global conditioning, and mechanism stiffness. Quasi-static force analyses were conducted to calculate worst-case scenario operational loads. These loads were then used to obtain a valid cross-section geometry that would withstand static stress, buckling failure, and fatigue failure.
