Recently, in the field of physical ergonomics, several studies have also shown potential for improvement in experimental methods of ergonomic analysis, through the combined use of artificial intelligence, and wearable sensors. In this regard, this review intends to provide a first account of the investigations carried out using these combined methods, considering the period up to 2021. The method that combines the information obtained on the worker through physical sensors (IMU, accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) or biopotential sensors (EMG, EEG, EKG\/ECG), with the analysis through artificial intelligence systems (machine learning or deep learning), offers interesting perspectives from both diagnostic, prognostic, and preventive points of view. In particular, the signals, obtained from wearable sensors for the recognition and categorization of the postural and biomechanical load of the worker, can be processed to formulate interesting algorithms for applications in the preventive field (especially with respect to musculoskeletal disorders), and with high statistical power. For Ergonomics, but also for Occupational Medicine, these applications improve the knowledge of the limits of the human organism, helping in the definition of sustainability thresholds, and in the ergonomic design of environments, tools, and work organization. The growth prospects for this research area are the refinement of the procedures for the detection and processing of signals; the expansion of the study to assisted working methods (assistive robots, exoskeletons), and to categories of workers suffering from pathologies or disabilities; as well as the development of risk assessment systems that exceed those currently used in ergonomics in precision and agility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12123048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T05:31:32Z","timestamp":1670218292000},"page":"3048","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":99,"title":["Wearable Sensors and Artificial Intelligence for Physical Ergonomics: A Systematic Review of Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9746-2265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro","family":"Donisi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Materials and Production Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, 80125 Naples, Italy"},{"name":"Istituti Clinici Scientifici ICS Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8303-5900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Cesarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical, Materials and Production Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, 80125 Naples, Italy"},{"name":"Istituti Clinici Scientifici ICS Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2412-9058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noemi","family":"Pisani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, University of Naples Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1346-515X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonso","family":"Ponsiglione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, 80125 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7290-6432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo","family":"Ricciardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituti Clinici Scientifici ICS Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, 80125 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edda","family":"Capodaglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituti Clinici Scientifici ICS Maugeri, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1177\/00333549091244S103","article-title":"A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Workplace Health Promotion and Occupational Ergonomics Programs","volume":"124","author":"Punnett","year":"2009","journal-title":"Public Health Rep."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.1080\/00140139.2012.661087","article-title":"A Strategy for Human Factors\/Ergonomics: Developing the Discipline and Profession","volume":"55","author":"Dul","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ergonomics"},{"key":"ref_3","unstructured":"(2022, October 10).
