This research is a case study focused on musculoskeletal risks that may affect Steadicam operators in their working environment. To evaluate the operators stress risks, the interaction between the equipment and the operator was analyzed. The related human physical characteristics were also accessed, using basic biomechanics concepts. Ergonomics methodologies for task analysis were applied and results confirm that for all evaluated postures there is an extremely high physical demand in association to a high risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
