Abstract

The aim of this paper is to carry out an ergonomic assessment of sonographers’ activity by means of advanced modelling and simulation software and to verify the relative literature evidences. The objective is to arrange a support tool for the risk assessment that permits a preventive analysis and the identification of the best working conditions. Modelling and simulation of abdominal ultrasounds (about 9 minutes long) allowed to analyse the anthropometric and biomechanical risk exposure of the workers using tools and features available in a software.
