    Uploaded by

    Egi Nabila
    This document provides a worksheet for assessing postures and tasks using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. The assessment involves 14 steps to evaluate neck, trunk, leg, arm, wrist, and coupling postures and assign scores. Scores from different body regions are combined using tables to determine an overall REBA risk score, along with additional points for task characteristics to determine the final activity score. REBA risk scores range from 1-15, with higher scores indicating greater risk level and need for change to reduce musculoskeletal risks.
