Abstract

The Revised Strain Index (RSI), despite its prevalence in ergonomics field practice, is designed to assess jobs with cyclic and predictable physical and behavioral patterns. The quantification of exertion force, posture, and work task duration is substantially more challenging for non-routinized work in clinical and hospital environments. Using dental hygiene work as an exemplar, we proposed a consolidated method to characterize physical exertion for non-routinized work. We conducted the RSI adaptation process in two phases. In phase one, we characterized exertion in non-routinized work and identified representative intensity and posture patterns. In phase two, we validated the consolidated method using a small subset of dental hygiene video recordings and compared the results to the conventional sampling method.

通过观察描述非程序化临床工作中的体力负荷：以口腔医疗服务提供者为例。

尽管 "订正劳损指数"（RSI）在人体工程学领域的实践中非常普遍，但它是为评估具有周期性和可预测的体力和行为模式的工作而设计的。而对于临床和医院环境中的非程序化工作而言，对用力、姿势和工作任务持续时间进行量化则更具挑战性。我们以牙科卫生工作为例，提出了一种综合方法来描述非路线化工作的体力消耗。我们分两个阶段进行 RSI 适应过程。在第一阶段，我们描述了非程序化工作中的体力消耗，并确定了具有代表性的强度和姿势模式。在第二阶段，我们使用一小部分牙科卫生视频记录对综合方法进行了验证，并将结果与传统取样方法进行了比较。
