CareJack, an intelligent soft orthosis für ergonomics support - automated real-time ergonomics analysis and feedback for industrial workers
Abstract
Stressful physical activities are main reason for back pain, shoulder lesions and disc damage. These are the three main reasons for disability. ""CareJack"", a smart soft orthosis presented in this article, represents a novel approach to improve the workplace situation through automated real-time ergonomic analysis and assessment in order to indicate unergonomic movements or body poses to the user. The system is based on integrated movement measurement sensors, intelligent real-time movement data analysis algorithms and an embedded vibration feedback module.
