Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to develop a posture risk assessment tool for humans using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) methods. The tool will be designed to evaluate the ergonomic risk factors associated with poor posture, such as musculoskeletal disorders and repetitive strain injuries. The study will involve collecting data on posture and ergonomic risk factors from a diverse group of participants and process it using Computer Vision techniques. The results of this research project will have significant implications for workplace safety and employee health, as the tool can be used to identify potential ergonomic hazards and prevent musculoskeletal disorders in workers.
