Effect of Induced Postural Changes on Cognitive Load
Résumé
In the context of addressing Musculoskeletal Disorders in industrial settings, postural changes can be induced in operators to reduce their physical fatigue. This study explores the impact of these postural changes on cognitive load. It aims to understand how postural change, and the possibility or not of anticipating this change, can have a cognitive cost. Using a combination of subjective and objective measures from the fields of physical and cognitive ergonomics, the research assesses the cognitive costs of various postural adjustments to patterns of anticipating or not anticipating the next position, during a manual task. Data collection is in progress. The results are intended to shed light on the cognitive load implications of working collaboratively with a cobot to reduce physical fatigue, balancing physical health improvements with cognitive demands.
