Recently, serious games have emerged as practical digital rehabilitation tools to mitigate cognitive load in older adults. These games are categorised into task-oriented, adaptive, and multimodal types. However, comparative research evaluating the effectiveness of these categories in reducing cognitive load and enhancing cognitive function remains limited. This study systematically compares task-oriented, adaptive, and multimodal serious games to assess their impact on cognitive load and cognitive functions in elderly participants. A comprehensive evaluation indicates that adaptive serious games significantly enhance cognitive indicators, including working memory, attention, and executive functions. These findings highlight the superior potential of adaptive serious games in advancing digital cognitive rehabilitation. Furthermore, the study provides valuable insights for the design of personalised and effective cognitive rehabilitation tools tailored to the needs of the elderly population.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"808-827"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143694390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard suggests the highest accelerations for strollers and cargo bicycles are extremely uncomfortable and continuous exposure should be limited to less than 10 min. Vintage strollers have reduced vibrations compared to modern strollers, indicating benefits of compliant suspensions. We recommend that designers systematically consider vibration, users avoid prolonged exposure to surfaces rougher than tarmac, and researchers pursue scientifically founded test procedures and standards for infant vibration.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147788030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty industry experts assessed 17 validated indicators spanning five core dimensions. Results indicate that employee well-being is the most critical driver of workplace social sustainability, while musculoskeletal health is less influential. The DEMATEL-ANP hybrid approach clarified cause-effect structures and derived relative importance weights across all criteria, providing actionable insights for embedding social sustainability into organisational policies and supporting targeted interventions that advance SDG 3 in workplace contexts.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a methodological framework for designing ergonomic interventions using 3D scanning, computer-aided design, and additive manufacturing. A VR ergonomic intervention-brace (VRB) was developed to redistribute headset load from neck to shoulders. Thirty-two participants performed office-simulated VR tasks under standard and VRB conditions. Neck muscle activity was assessed using surface electromyography, perceived discomfort using Borg's scale, and task performance using Fitts' law-based accuracy and reaction time. Results showed that the VRB significantly reduced cervical trapezius (-13%) and sternocleidomastoid (-12%) activation without affecting task performance. However, perceived neck discomfort increased with the VRB, likely due to mobility constraints. The methodology integrated anthropometric data and digital fabrication, enabling customised, low-cost ergonomic interventions. Findings highlight the potential of additive manufacturing for rapid, anthropometrically informed design of support systems addressing VR-related musculoskeletal risks.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147640418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
