BoB Biomechanics

Biomechanics of Bodies

BoB/Ergo

BoB/Ergo is the leading ergonomics and human factors biomechanical analysis system. BoB/Ergo contains all of the functionality of BoB/Research plus tools developed specifically for biomechanical ergonomic analysis.

BoB/Ergo provides:

  • Comparative analysis: providing a quantitative comparison of multiple tasks and multiple people.
  • Continuous analysis: performing calculations every fraction of a second so no events are missed.
  • Dynamic analysis: including dynamic effects to calculate loading and torques within the body.
  • Sensitivity analysis: reporting on the sensitivity of the scoring metrics to the workplace variables.

BoB/Ergo can calculate REBA, RULA scores, the NIOSH revised lifting equation, ISO11228, spinal compression and shear forces, cumulative forces and cumulative torques.

BoB/Ergo can also calculate joint ranges of motion, anatomical trajectories, joint torques, muscle forces, ground reaction forces, joint contact force, first person views and much more.
