DHM an Aid for Virtual Ergonomics of Manufacturing Shop Floor: A Review with Reference to Industrially Developing Countries

“…Digital human modeling technology has also now been used in industrially developing countries like Brazil, China, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Thailand and Egypt [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25]. It is to be noted that Taiwan and South Korea are recently being categorized as graduated developing/advanced economies.…”

“…Human gait motion can be simulated (using motion analysis system) and footwear deformation can be determined including visualization of stress distribution as shown in a particular study [14]. Task analysis tool features in DHM software were utilized for ergonomic evaluation of meal serving tasks during peak hours in a Chinese University cafeteria [24]. The above study yielded results necessitating some policy changes to be adopted and recommended reducing load on workers' hands.…”

A Predictive Model of Occupational and Lifestyle Risk Factors and Pain Management Strategies for Participants in a Wellness Program Diagnosed with Chronic Low Back Pain

“…Ergonomics engineering suggestions [2][3][4][5][6][7] have been implemented in the workplace to address low back issues and injury prevention strategies which target the causes of low back injury, such as lifting, twisting and/or bending (LTB) [8] and slips, trips and/or falls (STF) [9], are well-developed in industrial domain. However, CLBP is still a major cause of medical expenses [10], absenteeism [11], and disability [12,13] in the workforce [14,15].…”
