| Abstract | "This book covers how to analyze awkward working postures of the spine and lower limbs in specific groups exposed. The methods covered suggests how to evaluate the postures correctly in very complex scenarios where workers are involved with multiple tasks and work cycles varying from day to day. Excel spreadsheets located on the authors website have been developed to gather, condense, and automatically process the data. The tools serve to implement the strategy for calculating risk associated with exposure to awkward postures, i.e. the TACOS method. Included are 5 case studies which include physiotherapists, workers from construction, archaeological digs, vineyards, and kindergarten teachers"-- Provided by publisher. |
