Popis: | Complex repetitive tasks are common in the workplace and have been associated with upper extremity disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the progressive effects of highly repetitive work on joint kinematics and muscle activity of the trunk and upper extremity. Fifteen healthy men performed 60 one-minute cycles of 4 simulated automotive-related tasks. Electromyography of eight muscles and kinematics of the trunk and right upper extremity were collected. Data were analysed at 12-min intervals and divided into a complete work cycle. The time to complete the work cycle decreased by 6.3 |
