10 OVEREXERTION RISK ANALYSIS

The procedure described in Section 8 makes it possible to estimate the joint loads (reaction forces and moments) associated with maintaining a posture, with or without external loads. To assess exertion demands, Ergoniza Intelligent uses the required joint moments and compares them with the estimated moment-generating capacities and the applicable reference limits. Reaction forces are displayed as supplementary mechanical information, but they do not directly enter into the calculation of the exertion indicators described in this section.
