Quantify Proportion of Bent Handling in Segments > 5 sec.
The amount of time spent bending can be determined in a number of ways. In this case, the segments in which the worker works or remains in a bent position for more than 5 seconds at a time are particularly relevant.
A
Motion-Mining®
In the context of a Motion-Mining® project, the time share of activity for a process can be determined in different segment lengths.
B
Process Observation and Timing
In a process observation, the proportion of time in isometric contraction can be determined with the help of a stopwatch or a corresponding app.
