Problem: -
Triggers of over work for long hours that employee’s face to meet the different challenges at their work place for given target attainment will involve constant muscular & Spinal physical stress which needs to be assessed, reduced and controlled thoroughly which otherwise leads to progressive health damages & proportionate impact on the organization productivity growth.
Objective: -
To reduce & control the physical stress accumulation at various work centers through specific traction devices & systematic traction programs.
Methodology: -
Design & Development of Ancient medical system devices such as:
1) Smarto Active Trac(SAT) for lumbar problems
2) Inverto Traction device for leg swelling, cramps & back muscle sprains etc. (Principle involved is Inversion Therapy)
The above two gadgets are developed with an objective for relief of physical stress, through Systematic Traction program.
3) Faculty Posture Alarm kit designed for early detection with an objective of inflict further injury risk for self rectification of wrong postures at work.(alarms via sound beeps & light )
Process involved were Design, Fabrication, and experimental Testing for its benefits. Questionnaire & Experimental set up starting from alpha Test to hypothesis test on specific cases. Stress scores were based on Questionnaire analysis & subjective measures.
Results: -
Smarto Active Trac device experimental study on daily systematic Traction program for 10-15 mins shows physical stress reduction by10% approximately.
Inverto Traction Device daily utility with systematic Traction program for 5 to 7 min on different worker indicates physical stress level reduction to 24% (Two Tailed hypothesis test)
Faculty Posture Alarm kit was very well accepted for its unique way of early damage control on human health for a cheaper cost. (INRs 1500)
Conclusion: -
Occupational physical stress is a leading risk factor resulting human health deterioration over a period, Timely relief by usage of Specific traction devices and also Damage control through the utility of faulty posture alarm kit.
Key words: Questionnaire, Inversion Therapy, Systematic Traction program,
Subjective measures & Alarm
