Section: ArticlesTitle: Anthropometric, muscle strength, and spinal mobility characteristics as predictors in the rating of acceptable loads in parcel sorting / H.R. Stalhammar and V. LouhevaaraAuthor: Stalhammar, Hannu R.Notes: 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 tasksRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 9, September 1992 ; p. 1033-1044Materia / lugar / evento: ErgonomíaBiomecánicaAntropometríaContracciones muscularesLesiones muscularesCarga de materialesFuerza muscularTestsOtros autores: Louhevaara, V.
