Abstract
The method of assembling a graphical image biomechanical supplement invention involves assembling a plurality of biomechanical images selected from an electronic database onto a single document, wherein the biomechanical images are line art silhouettes representing human body postures or positions and specific body part positions. The method of assembling includes selecting at least two biomechanical images from a plurality of biomechanical images, assigning a supplemental description to each of the selected at least two biomechanical images, and compiling the selected at least two biomechanical images and their assigned supplemental descriptions onto a single document. Each of the plurality of biomechanical images may include a brief text description. The selection of biomechanical images may be from a universal biomechanical image database that includes every selectable biomechanical image, or a work specific biomechanical image grouping compiled from a universal biomechanical image database.

17. A computer software product that includes a medium readable by a processor, the medium having stored thereon a set of instructions for preparing a job analysis having graphical biomechanical images incorporated therein, comprising:
-
(a) a first sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes said processor to retrieve the biomechanical images from a comprehensive database of graphical biomechanical images;
(b) a second sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes said processor to display the images for viewing on a graphical user interface;
(c) a third sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes said processor to insert at least one of the viewed biomechanical images selected by a user into a textual job analysis document in order to illustrate the biomechanical skills involved in performing a particular job. - View Dependent Claims (18)
