Ergoniza Intelligent

Current-posture report

The Current-posture report documents the time point represented by the model within a multiple-posture sequence. It includes the data and results for that posture and, when selected, the cumulative exposure calculated up to that time.

To prepare it, select Multiple postures mode, position the sequence at the time point to be analyzed, and open the Report Generator. Under Report type, select Current posture.

Current-posture report in a sequence
No. Control Function
1 Current posture Specifies that the report corresponds to the time point represented by the model rather than the sequence as a whole.
2 Cumulative exertion load Includes the exposure accumulated up to the analyzed time point in the Exertion section.

The complete selector and the difference between the two scopes are explained in Multiple-posture reports. The other controls are common to all reports and are described in Report generation.

Select the posture

The documented posture corresponds to the current timeline position when the preview is generated. It can be a recorded posture or an intermediate posture obtained during playback or while moving through the sequence.

Before collecting the data, Ergoniza Intelligent synchronizes the model and its loads with that time point. The preview identifies the document as Analysis of one posture within a posture sequence and displays its temporal context:

  • the posture’s time within the sequence;
  • the total sequence duration.

Check these data at the beginning of the preview to confirm that the intended time point is being documented.

Report sections

The current-posture report uses the same sections and default order as the Single-posture report:

  • Introduction.
  • Model settings.
  • Anthropometry.
  • Conditions and loads.
  • Postural information.
  • Discomfort.
  • REBA/LUBA.
  • Exertion.
  • Lumbar compression.
  • Stability and supports.
  • Results analysis.
  • Conclusions.

It also retains the specific options described in that section. The particular difference appears under Exertion, which includes Cumulative exertion load.

Cumulative exertion load

Option 2 adds the cumulative exertion load at the current time point to the report. This result does not describe only the posture’s instantaneous exertion; it considers the exposure accumulated from the beginning of the activity up to the selected time.

When results are available, the section can include:

  • a summary of results that exceed the limit, are close to it, or remain at acceptable levels;
  • the result with the highest cumulative load;
  • the most relevant joint channels and movements;
  • total cumulative load and its fast and slow components;
  • the level assigned to each result.

The included values are those calculated with the current settings. The Exertion section retains the name and reference of the indicator active at that time. Cumulative load is presented as an independent temporal result and can be shown with or without the weighting used to establish preventive priorities.

If Include charts is also enabled, the report can include a compact cumulative-load visualization together with the other selected biomechanical charts.

See Cumulative exertion load for its calculation, display, and interpretation.

After changing repetitions, rest periods, or biomechanical settings, update the results and generate the preview again before exporting the report.

Difference from the single-posture report

Both reports present the model’s postural results, but their contexts differ:

  • the Single-posture report analyzes an independent posture and has no cumulative temporal exposure;
  • the Current-posture report obtains the posture from a sequence, displays its temporal context, and can include the cumulative load up to that time.

Selecting Current posture does not make the document a global report. Its sections still describe the selected time point. To summarize the development of the entire activity, use the Entire-sequence report.

  1. Select Multiple postures mode.
  2. Stop or position the sequence at the time point to document.
  3. Check the displayed posture and the loads applied at that time.
  4. Open the Report Generator.
  5. Select Current posture, identified by number 1.
  6. Enable the sections and content to include.
  7. Open the Exertion options and decide whether to include Cumulative exertion load, identified by number 2.
  8. Generate the preview.
  9. Check the time and duration shown in the temporal context.
  10. Review the content before printing or generating the document.
