Fulmer, Scott, Jing, Xiaolu, Yuan, Lu, Dasgupta1, Priyadarshini Sengupta, Schugardt, Brad, Dale, Ann Marie, Punnett, Laura and Buchholz1, Bryan (2010): Biomechanical risk factors for knee disorders in Carpenters. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 54th Annual Meeting 2010. pp. 1224-1228.

“Years of occupational health research in construction indicated that more information was needed to help bring proper attention to specific suffering by certain construction trades. In this study, knee disorders in Carpenter specialties were examined by observation and expert opinion in order to rank specific factors of exposure. Ergonomic profiles for an exhaustive taxonomy of their work were found. A comparison of validated methods of exposure assessment was useful in identifying key factors of exposure, and to strengthen the epidemiologic link between the task-exposure matrix and outcomes of knee disorder.”

Dale, Ann Marie and Wolf, Laurie (1995): Medical Specialist vs. Human Factors Engineering Approach to Workstation Design. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 964.

“With the growing interest in ergonomics and new OSHA regulations on the horizon, it is not surprising to find many different professionals involved in ergonomics. Different disciplines will approach a problem from different perspectives and process methods. This poster session will discuss two of these disciplines: medical specialists and Human Factors Engineering (HFE). Although the medical specialist and HFE may have the same goals when resolving a workstation problem, the process and recommended solutions used to achieve these goals may be different. A medical specialist is confined by an insurance company's financial restraints and the patient's expectations and therefore, he focuses on short term solutions. An HF engineer is directed by the company's needs and therefore, he focuses on long term solutions. The ideal approach is to achieve an interdisciplinary team which blends the attributes of the medical specialists and HF engineers. This union provides a blend of short-term and long-term solutions for a problem. This poster session will discuss the similarities and differences of several case studies to demonstrate the medical specialist and the HF engineer approach.”
