Inertial sensor-based task assessment while in a suited configuration can provide useful information for geology training programs and actual planetary Extravehicular Activities (EVAs). The purpose of this pilot study was to assess suited Lunar geology tasks from the postural perspective using inertial sensors and to gain a better understanding of the movements required during planetary EVAs and of the possible relationships with injury mechanisms. Professional geologist and non-geologist subjects participated in a suited geology task test, and preliminary analysis showed kinematic differences indicating a potential risk factor for lower back injury during future planetary EVAs.
