| Abstract Exploring the range of operational strategies could enhance our understanding of effective regulatory approaches, contributing to the prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). This study aims to assess whether the use of virtual simulation, integrated into a Serious Game, enables users to establish conditions conducive to efficient regulation of their future professional activities. Additionally, we seek to demonstrate how operational strategies differ when performing similar tasks within the simulated context of a virtual reality Serious Game. The key findings reveal the presence of multiple operational strategies for each simulated task, which appear to establish favorable conditions for better regulation of future activities. While the Serious Game demonstrated a diversity of strategies, an important question remains regarding whether the game led to improved postural behavior between the beginning and the end of the session, and whether these changes transferred to real work conditions. The analysis showed that certain users progressively adjusted their strategies based on in-game feedback, improving postures related to upper limb and back positioning. However, others maintained their initial approaches despite recommendations. The extent to which this learning translates into long-term workplace adjustments requires further study. |
