Prediction of Neck and Shoulder Pain During Use of Vdt with the Use of Artificial Neural Network

Maninderjit Singh, Dr. Suman Kant

Abstract :

Present work focuses on prediction of neck and shoulder pain during use of VDT. Use of VDT has been a regular feature of Indian industry, however surprisingly Indians are unaware of pain generated during use of VDTs. This work basically looked after this problem. The work is divided in two phases. In first phase a questionnaire was prepared from various persons using VDTs. Using these data Artificial Neural Network was trained in second phase. Further this training enabled to develop a predictive model with the help of Artificial Neural Network. It was predicted that working for 7 to 9 hours for shoulder pain and for neck pain working from 6 to 9 hours are critical (i.e. generated pain in higher region). The developed model has also been found to be suitable for persons who regularly use the VDT. It is equally useful for both software industries employee and persons use VDT for their business/personal work.
