Accurate measurements for calculating Lifting Index of NIOSH Lifting Equation using Motion Capture Technology

抄録

This research presents a new method to obtain accurate measurements using the Motion Capture technology for the purpose of calculating the Lifting Index (LI) and the Recommended Lifting Weight (RWL) for lifting tasks that satisfy the conditions of the revised NIOSH lifting equation. It also presents a method to calculate the different multipliers of the NIOSH equation using the motion capture data.
