Force-Matching. A New Approach to Determine Action Forces for the Ergonomic Evaluation in Automotive Industry

The collection and analysis of applied forces is an essential part of the ergonomic evaluation of workplaces. In industrial companies, direct measurements and estimates are currently considered to be accepted methods. The present study identifies alternatives to the accepted procedures for the determination of action-forces and analysed one of these in detail: force-matching.
