Single-posture report

The single-posture report contains the data for the posture displayed by the model, the conditions defined for it, and the results obtained from the selected analyses. It does not represent a sequence or summarize the temporal development of an activity.

To prepare it, select Single posture mode and open the Report Generator with REPORT.

The numbered controls in the image are explained under Report generation. This section describes the sections and options specific to a single-posture report.

Available sections

The following sections are initially enabled in their default order:

Section	Content	Specific options
Introduction	Introductory text written to provide context for the assessment.	Text editing and use of templates.
Model settings	Biomechanical-model configuration parameters used in the analysis.	No specific options in the generator.
Anthropometry	Anthropometric characteristics used to construct and analyze the model.	No specific options in the generator.
Conditions and loads	Posture conditions and external loads included in the assessment.	No specific options in the generator.
Postural information	Quantitative description and representation of the posture assessed.	Postural angles and an image of the model posture.
Discomfort	Postural-discomfort results available for the posture.	Postural-discomfort percentage and display on the model.
REBA/LUBA	Results from the postural-load assessment methods.	REBA result, REBA options, and LUBA result.
Exertion	Biomechanical-analysis results for the posture.	Active exertion or capacity indicator, percentage of unprotected population, joint loads, support reaction loads, and inclusion of charts.
Lumbar compression	Results for loads and muscle activity in the lumbar region.	Compression, shear, and diagnosis; and muscle activity.
Stability and supports	Results related to the model’s supports and stability.	Weight distribution, stabilogram image, and image of the stabilogram on the model.
Results analysis	Automatic summary of the results included in the assessment.	Show all results, risks and warnings, or risks only.
Conclusions	Final text written by the evaluator or transferred from Ergo-Wizard.	Text editing, use of templates, and access to Ergo-Wizard.

Select sections and their options

The checkbox beside each section determines whether it is included in the document. Disabling a section excludes all of its content.

When a section has an options button, you can leave the section enabled while disabling only some of its content. For example, under Postural information, you can include the angle table without the model image; under Exertion, you can include numerical results without their charts.

The options panel can be opened only while the corresponding section is enabled. If the section is disabled, its panel closes and its options no longer apply to the report.

Postural information

The Postural information section can include:

Postural angles: angular values describing the posture of the different segments and joints.
Model posture image: a capture of the model in the assessed posture.

The model’s orientation and visual state when the preview is generated determine the image included in the report.

Discomfort and postural load

Under Discomfort, you can select the postural-discomfort percentage and its representation on the model. Under REBA/LUBA, you can select separately:

the REBA result;
the options used in the REBA calculation;
the LUBA result.

This allows one method’s result to be presented without including the other, even when both are available in the assessment.

For information about using and interpreting these analyses, see Discomfort, REBA, and LUBA.

Exertion

The Exertion section lets you select independently:

the active exertion or capacity indicator, identified as %MRE or %RJC according to the configuration used;
the percentage of unprotected population;
joint loads;
support reaction loads;
charts associated with the included results.

The report retains the indicator name and reference time used when the preview is generated. If the biomechanical settings change, generate the preview again before comparing or exporting the document.

Cumulative exertion load does not appear in the single-posture report because its calculation requires exposure over time. This option is available in the Current-posture report when working with multiple postures.

See Exertion for information about the different biomechanical results.

Lumbar compression

This section can include separately:

compression, shear, and diagnosis results;
muscle-activity information.

See Lumbar compression for the results provided by this analysis.

Stability and supports

This section can include:

weight distribution between supports;
the stabilogram image;
an image of the stabilogram represented on the model.

The two images are independent options. You can include the stabilogram as a chart, its representation on the model, or both. See Stabilogram for details.

Results analysis

The Results analysis section prepares a summary of the available results. Its Show option determines the level of detail:

All: includes every result considered by the summary.
Risks and warnings: excludes results with no relevant findings.
Risks only: limits the summary to results classified as Risk.

This selection changes only the content of the summary included in the report; it does not alter the calculations or other sections.

Introduction and conclusions

The Introduction and Conclusions sections contain text written for the assessment. Their options let you open the expanded editor, save text as a template, or retrieve an existing template.

Under Conclusions, you can also open Ergo-Wizard to generate a proposal from the assessment results and then transfer it to the report. Review this text before generating the final document.

Writing and editing are explained under Introduction and conclusions, and text reuse under Text templates. For information about the AI tool, see Ergo-Wizard.
