Anthropometric, muscle strength, and spinal mobility characteristics as predictors in the rating of acceptable loads in parcel sorting / H.R. Stalhammar and V. Louhevaara
Sumario: The rating of acceptable load attained with a standard test (RALst) and a work-simulating test (RALw) for postal parcel sorting was related to anthropometric, muscle strength, and spinal mobility characteristics of 18 male sorters. The dynamic endurance of hand-grip muscles, trunk strength, and spinal flexibility seemed to be the most powerful predictors for the psychophysiological assessed 'acceptable loads' in experienced workers performing manual materials handling tasks
