Ergonomic posture analysis for occupational and human-factors studies

Quantify visible posture and repetitive-task exposure for ergonomics, workplace design, and human-factors research.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Trunk posture angle

shoulder, hip, and trunk landmarks over time

Reach envelope

hand path relative to body and workstation area

Cycle count

repeated movement start and stop events

Lift or bend event

object movement, trunk flexion, and lower-limb posture

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

Task presets

  • lifting task
  • workstation posture
  • repetitive reach
  • assembly simulation
  • tool-use observation

Researcher annotations

  • task cycle
  • load estimate
  • station height
  • tool used
  • observer note

Export fields

  • posture angles
  • reach duration
  • cycle counts

What is established

Posture observation, time-motion studies, and ergonomic risk tools are common in occupational and human-factors research.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision measures posture, reach, repetition, and task-event timing from approved research video.

What still needs validation

Risk scores, workplace recommendations, and safety decisions require trained ergonomist review and context-specific validation.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

CSV task summary by participant, visit, and session
Frame-level landmark coordinates with confidence values
Event timestamps for starts, stops, repetitions, pauses, and task phases
JSON review files for overlays, researcher notes, and audit history
Evidence

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
