Discomfort as a result of joint positions and postural activities are immediately noticed. Also, it is much easier and faster to quantify discomfort noted from occupational postural activity and develop guidelines. Work procedure guide- lines added to physiology, observation and direct measure results will aid in forming risk models of possible occupational task hazards and their associated CTDs. Derivations of these methodologies have been demonstrated in validated ergonomic risk assessment tools for the lower back [65] and upper extremities [46]. Before any conclusion is drawn, the body discomfort must be understood and defined. Body dis- comfort in terms of postures and activities, can be defined as having sensations of pain, soreness, stiffness, numbness or tingling [26, 48, 56]. These studies reveal that many effects of discomfort are due to physiological reasons related to the body’s internal biomechanics and muscle fatigue capacities. These factors actively change as joints articulate, muscle contract and internal body pressure regulate. Tasks involving prolonged exposure to working postures and or repeated activi- ties are associated to body discomfort [15]. Non-neutral joint angles [63] and extrinsic contact stress on lower extremities body tissue from work environments [13] are also known to be uncomfortable for people if sustained. Furthermore, holding time of these postures is directly dependent on the perceived levels of discomfort, therefore the torques and fatigues induce through postures indirectly affects the time people can maintain postural loading [15].
