Module 2

Question 1

What are the types of movement assessment ?

Answer 1

1-Skill development->coaching, training and injury risk reduction
2-clinical->retraining, recovery and rehabilitation
3-Occupational->task training, injury risk reduction

Question 2

What is HFE?

Answer 2

Application theoretical principles, data and methods to aspects of work place design in order to optimize human well being

-human centred design
-strengthen and improve well being
-enhance human performance(iPhone, blackberry)

Question 3

What are the main domains of HFE? Provide example.

Answer 3

1-Organizational
-Communication
-quality management
-how work flows/happens
-Covid-19 cases impact nurses workloads

2- Physical
-injury prevention
-posture
-paramedics training, how demanding is it, how much weight is lifted, how far are they driving

3- cognitive
- decision making
- mental workload
-training
-powerplant(Fukushima)
- questionnaires, surveys etc

Question 4

What are the types of movement assessment?

Answer 4

Static (images)
- static postures/position
- isolate joint angle in plane
-joint angle estimate based on segments adjacent to joint

Dynamic
- asses changes in angle over time
- video
Need knowledge of anatomy of movement for assessment

Question 5

Describing joint angles

Answer 5

• measure joint angle relative from anatomical positions
• measure the joint to the segments adjacent to the joint being measured

Neutral:
Knee-180
Elbow-180
Hip-180
Shoulder-0
Ankle-90

Question 6

What is the Gait Cycle?

Answer 6

2 parts:
1-Stance Phase: initiated during heel strike and ends right before toe off
2-Swing Phase: initiated at toe off and ends after deceleration

• one gait cycle is time interval occurring between two consecutive initial contacts of the same foot
  -one gait cycle is one stride, half a gait cycle is one step

Stance:
-heel strike
-foot flat
-midstance
-heel off
-toe off

Swing:
-acceleration
-midswing
- deceleration
