The aim is to develop a computer-based assessment model for novel dynamic postural evaluation using RULA. The present study proposed a camera-based, three-dimensional (3D) dynamic human pose estimation model using 'BlazePose' with a data set of 50,000 action-level-based images. The model was investigated using the Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Transfer Learning (TL) approach. The model has been trained to evaluate the posture with high accuracy, precision, and recall for each output prediction class. The model can quickly analyze the ergonomics of dynamic posture online and offline with a promising accuracy of 94.12%. A novel dynamic postural estimator using blaze pose and transfer learning is proposed and assessed for accuracy. The model is subjected to a constant muscle loading factor and foot support score that could evaluate one person with good image clarity at a time.
