    Abstract
    Poor characterization of exposures due to inadequately tested ergonomics exposure assessment tools contributes to the skepticism regarding the work-relatedness of musculoskeletal disorders. Due to their ability to capture individual exposures for large populations, observational methods have been commonly used to assess awkward postures in occupational settings. However, use of observation-based methods is complicated due to infrequent assessment of reliability and validity. While direct instrumentation is typically recommended for assessment of awkward postures, application of direct instrumentation ...
