Single-posture advisor
In Single posture mode, the Results Advisor examines the available ergonomic results for the current posture. It groups related findings, distinguishes warnings from risks, and lets you restrict the review to selected criteria or body regions.
To use it, activate Single posture mode, configure the model and activity conditions, and select ADVISOR. Then select Analyze posture. If the analysis has already been performed, the control is labeled Update analysis.
| No. | Element | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Analyze or update | Obtains the results for the current posture or repeats the analysis after the posture or its options change. |
| 2 | Findings detected | Total number of Warning- or Risk-level findings that meet the selected filters. |
| 3 | Warnings | Number of findings that suggest reviewing or improving the posture without reaching the Risk level. |
| 4 | Risks | Number of findings that reach the Risk level and require priority attention. |
| 5 | Affected criteria | Number of different assessment criteria with findings under the current filters. |
| 6 | Risk-criteria filter | Includes or excludes the selected result types from the assessment. |
| 7 | Body-region filter | Limits joint-related findings to the selected body regions. |
| 8 | Overall assessment | Summarizes the posture result with the active filters and identifies the criteria on which the review should focus. |
| 9 | Relevant results | Contains Warning- or Risk-level assessments ordered by relevance. |
| 10 | Result | Identifies the type of situation detected. |
| 11 | Assessment criterion | Identifies the method or criterion from which the result originates. |
| 12 | Level label | Uses a label to identify the result as Warning or Risk. |
| 13 | Main findings | Displays the joints, movements, or magnitudes that support the result and their most relevant values. |
Analysis summary
The four indicators at the top change immediately when the filters change:
- Findings detected counts the individual findings included in the visible results. A single result can group several joint-related findings.
- Warnings and Risks separate findings according to the level assigned by the corresponding criterion.
- Affected criteria counts how many different assessment types have at least one finding.
For this reason, the number of results in the list can be lower than the number of findings detected: one card can group several related joints or movements.
Risk-criteria filters
Block 6 lets you select the criteria used in the summary, overall assessment, and result list. Depending on the calculations available for the posture, it can include:
- the active exertion or capacity indicator;
- unprotected population;
- discomfort;
- REBA;
- LUBA;
- lumbar load;
- support asymmetry;
- stability and slipping.
For a single posture, the exertion criterion appears as %MRE or %RJC depending on the state of Calculate % max. recommended exertion. The filter name changes automatically.
Selecting or clearing an option filters the results already calculated. You do not need to repeat the analysis simply because a filter changed.
Body-region filters
Block 7 lets you select hands, forearms, upper arms, trunk, head, thighs, lower legs, and feet. The filter applies to findings that can be associated with a specific body region.
Global criteria, such as REBA, LUBA, stability, slipping, or support asymmetry, do not depend on a single region and are not removed by this body filter. To exclude them, use the risk-criteria filter.
Overall assessment
The Overall assessment, identified by number 8, summarizes how many results reach the Warning or Risk levels under the current selection. It also identifies the criteria containing the most relevant results.
The assessment updates when the filters change. If the selection produces no Warning- or Risk-level result, the advisor indicates this and leaves the relevant-results list empty.
Relevant results
Results are ordered by relevance. Each card identifies:
- the situation detected;
- its Warning or Risk level;
- the assessment criterion from which it originates;
- the number of grouped findings;
- a brief explanation of the result;
- up to three main findings and their values.
When a card contains more findings than can be displayed, it indicates how many additional findings remain. To examine a result in greater detail, open the corresponding method under Results.
