This technical note details the preliminary stage in the development of a postural analysis tool, Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). REBA has been developed to fill a perceived need for a practitioner's field tool, specifically designed to be sensitive to the type of unpredictable working postures found in health care and other service industries. A team of ergonomists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurses collected and individually coded over 600 postural examples to produce a new tool incorporating dynamic and static postural loading factors, human-load interface (coupling), and a new concept of a gravity-assisted upper limb position. Initial reliability for inter-observer coding shows promise but further work is needed to establish the validity of the tool.
本技术说明详细介绍了姿势分析工具——快速全身评估（REBA）开发的初步阶段。开发REBA是为了满足从业者对现场工具的一种预期需求，该工具专门设计用于对医疗保健和其他服务行业中出现的不可预测的工作姿势类型保持敏感。一组人体工程学家、物理治疗师、职业治疗师和护士收集了600多个姿势示例并分别进行编码，以制作一种包含动态和静态姿势负荷因素、人-负荷界面（耦合）以及重力辅助上肢位置新概念的新工具。观察者间编码的初始可靠性显示出前景，但还需要进一步的工作来确定该工具的有效性。
