The focus of this review is on the physiological considerations necessary for develo**
employment standards within occupations that have a heavy reliance on load carriage …

The scientific literature on automated gait analysis for human recognition has grown
dramatically over the past 15 years. A number of sensing modalities including those based …

Manually carrying loads for a long distance and duration is highly physically demanding for
humans but commonly required in outdoor activities. With the rapid growth and …

Although numerous studies have investigated the effects of load carriage on gait mechanics,
most have been conducted on active military men. It remains unknown whether men and …

Manual load carrying without sufficient rest may cause work-related musculoskeletal
disorders (WMSDs) and needs to be monitored at construction sites. While previous studies …

The purpose of this study is to provide a method for classifying non-fatigued vs. fatigued
states following manual material handling. A method of template matching pattern …

Load carriage increases physiological strain, reduces work capacity and elevates the risk of
work-related injury. In this project, the separate and combined physiological consequences …

The ever-growing threats of security and privacy loss from unauthorized access to mobile
devices have led to the development of various biometric authentication methods for easier …

Advancements in sensing and network technologies have increased the amount of data
being collected to monitor the worker conditions. In this study, we consider the use of time …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer an attractive way to study human lower-limb
kinematics without traditional laboratory constraints. We present an error-state Kalman filter …
