| dc.description.abstract | Assembly lines are the production system mostly used in industry in order to achieve higher production rates. Thus, workstations are getting more automated and operators tend to perform highly dynamic repetitive movements. As the work demands increase the biomechanical load of the soft tissues of the upper-limbs are also intensified. The operator’s exposure to this work-related risk factor is a probable cause for the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. The main purpose of the study is to measure the range of motion of the upper-limb articulation of subjects in the same workstation in two different assembly lines when performing assemble work. For the data collection was used an inertial measurement system Xsens MVN BIOMECH. The data indicates that the operators have similar range of motion in the upper-limb articulation. It was possible to verify that the subjects in study perform repetitive movements and tend to adopt the work method defined. | pt_PT |
