Abstract
An apparatus and method for monitoring potentially-cumulative-trauma-syndrome-inducing activities by a wearer is provided. A wearable monitor and wireless transmitter are attached to a body part of the wearer. The monitor monitors activities of the body part of the wearer. The transmitter transmits signals from the monitor to a receiver. The receiver provides the transmitted signals to a processor, which analyzes the received signals and, in response to a determination that a pre-defined threshold has been exceeded, provides feedback to the wearer. The processor is connected via a local-area-network (LAN) connection to a local area-network. Ergonomics personnel can monitor the wearer and set the threshold remotely via the LAN and the LAN connection. Ergonomics personnel can also determine when the monitor is not being worn by the wearer. The monitor is adapted to resist disablement by the wearer.
