Mapping of ergonomic assessment tools

Ergonomics tools, Working Posture Analysis, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Risk AssessmentAbstract
Ergonomists use in their daily routine instruments, which these professionals call analysis tools. Each one of them has a scientific basis and an intended use. The objective of this study was to perform a mapping of the ergonomics tools most often cited in the scientific literature, with the objective of detailing and differentiating the main characteristics. After performing an RBS with the key words that indicate tool use and ergonomic risk assessment, 82 tools were mapped, from which the authors of this article selected the 10 most cited and performed an investigation of their main characteristics and functionalities. We then concluded that each of these tools has its intended use, and the overlapping of tools indicates a lack of effectiveness. We still observed the great influence of analysts over non-technology tools, thus the use of technology is not yet fully applied to the work reality in a broad way.
