Análisis de parámetros antropométricos en modelos musculoesqueléticos del cuello-cabeza : análisis de parámetros de esfuerzos internos en un modelo musculoesquelético del cuello-cabeza en actividades de conducción de un vehículo.

Abstract

This graduation project focuses on analyzing anthropometric parameters in musculoskeletal models of the neck-head system, particularly in driving activities. It uses electromyography sensors to capture data on the muscular effort involved in these activities. Data collection and analysis are carried out using programming tools such as MATLAB, which facilitate the generation of graphs and comparison with experimental parameters, establishing a range of muscular effort. The results are significant in several ways. First, they help to better understand the biomechanics of driving, which is crucial for optimizing vehicle ergonomic design and preventing injuries. Second, they identify areas of high muscular demand during driving, which can influence the design and ergonomics of automobiles. Additionally, the research has applications in occupational health by providing information on muscular efforts in specific work activities, contributing to injury prevention and worker well-being. In summary, this study advances the implementation of safer and more ergonomic practices and enhances the understanding of how physical activity affects musculoskeletal health.
