Understanding the characteristics and measurement properties of the observational methods for biomechanical exposure analysis contributes to choosing and planning workplace ergonomic interventions. This systematic review search was performed in the four databases. In 99 studies, 75 observational methods were identified. Posture/movement, force and repetitiveness were the most evaluated risk factors for the upper limbs, trunk and head. EAWS, OCRA, the expanded PATH and QEC evaluate more biomechanical risk factors. EAWS, PATH, QEC, CADEP, ROSA, REBA, modified REBA, RULA, all body segments. Criterion validity, reliability and agreement are REBA and ROSA's most tested measurement properties. The quality of evidence ranged from moderate to high for 23 methods. ALLA, HAL, OFFERA, simplified PATH and the expanded PATH stand out with high-quality evidence. The expanded PATH and QEC are the most complete in evaluating several occupational tasks, respectively, with high- and moderate-quality evidence.
了解生物力学暴露分析观察方法的特点和测量属性有助于选择和规划工作场所的人体工程学干预措施。本次系统综述检索在四个数据库中进行。在99项研究中，识别出75种观察方法。姿势/动作、力量和重复性是上肢、躯干和头部评估最多的风险因素。EAWS、OCRA、扩展版PATH和QEC评估的生物力学风险因素更多。EAWS、PATH、QEC、CADEP、ROSA、REBA、改良版REBA、RULA，涉及身体所有部位。准则效度、信度和一致性是REBA和ROSA测试最多的测量属性。23种方法的证据质量从中度到高度不等。ALLA、HAL、OFFERA、简化版PATH和扩展版PATH以高质量证据脱颖而出。扩展版PATH和QEC在评估多项职业任务方面分别最为全面，证据质量为高和中度。
