Abstract

This paper introduces a modified methodology on basis of the RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) to assess the astronaut ergonomics for space flight in microgravity environment. The proposed methodology under the combination of the neutral configuration in microgravity with the joint movement ranges to establish the assessment criterion for the modified RULA methodology to assess the ergonomics in the microgravity environment.
