ErgoVar: A Toolbox for Exposure Variation Analysis

Short Communication

Afshin Samani

Abstract

Ergonomists suggest that increasing exposure variation at work may prevent development of work related musculoskeletal disorder in the jobs which are characterized by repetitive pattern of exposure. However, different methodological approaches could be adopted to quantify exposure variation. ErgoVar provides the implementation of relevant computational methods for analysis of exposure variation. It consists of a set of linear and nonlinear processing methods relevant to exposure variation analysis. It is free for downloading and sharing. ErgoVar aim is to facilitate the research focusing on exposure variation.
