Abstract

This paper proposes the usage of thermal imaging to diagnose and monitor work-related musculoskeletal disorders Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computed tomography (CT) scans which are the current most prevalent methods of diagnosing and monitoring patients. However, both methods are costly, while having a low level of accessibility. An experiment with 2 different typing positions is conducted, using a thermal camera to detect the difference in hat distribution between the 2 different typing positions and evaluate whether thermal images can produce any significant results.
