Occupational wrist postural assessment and monitoring system: development and initial validation

Identification and quantification of poor wrist postures at the occupational setting are generally challenging due to rapid changes in wrist movement. A system prototype was developed to capture and assess wrist postural behaviour at the workplace. This manuscript describes the development and in...
