Zusammenfassung:Described herein is a system and method for ergonomic analysis including a sensorized glove having an inner glove including a plurality of extensometer sensors for detecting relative movements between parts of a worker's hand, and an outer glove including a plurality of pressure sensors distributed over a palmar surface and for detecting pressure exerted in corresponding areas of said palmar surface; a wearable network of sensors being located in the network so that they can be associated to corresponding joints of the human body; a unit for generating a sequence of images of a worker task; and a processing unit for receiving data and/or signals from the sensorized glove, from the wearable sensor network, and/or from the unit, and configured for processing said data and/or signals to estimate ergonomic indicators and/or to obtain local information of effort and/or posture.
