Original research ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ERGONOMIC INTERVENTIONS IN MILITARY SETTINGS: A SCIENTOMETRIC AND SCOPING APPROACHPages 107-118
Abstract
This study explores the effects of ergonomic interventions in military settings through a dual approach: scientometric analysis and a scoping review. The scientometric analysis highlights growing interest and advancements in military ergonomics, with increasing research publications. Top keywords include military ergonomics, low back pain, and ergonomic design. Key findings show that ergonomic interventions reduce musculoskeletal injuries and enhance military personnel's well-being and performance. Notable interventions like Equine-Facilitated Therapy (EFT) and High-Density Surface Electromyography (HD-sEMG) improve physical performance and pain management. The scoping review stresses the need for tailored ergonomic strategies for military-specific challenges, such as body armor optimization and injury prevention during high-impact events. Gaps in long-term studies and the integration of ergonomic principles into military training are identified for future research.
Keywords: Military Ergonomics, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Ergonomic Interventions, Scientometric Analysis, Scoping Review.
