Water Lifting Posture Study in Rural Area by Using Ergonomics and Biomechanical Tools

Water lifting by using Rope-pulley and Bucket Method is one of the various methods used in the rural area by Indian women for collecting water for their daily life. These women have to carry it to their homes after lifting it. Therefore, it may cause body discomfort, but there is no awareness because of their illiteracy and poverty. Our purpose of this project was to investigate their posture by using biomechanical concepts and fundamental tools of ergonomics.
