Postural Risk & EMG Fatigue Analysis

Lab 1: RULA/REBA scoring + MediaPipe continuous joint-angle analysis across 5 participants in two manual handling tasks. Lab 2: muscle fatigue assessment in 6 participants (3M/3F) with isometric handgrip at 20-100% MVC; EMG analyzed via RMS and MPF slopes, compared against Rohmert theoretical curve.
