Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Electroyography of spinal and abdominal muscles during garden raking with two rakes and rake handles

Notes: Sumario: Fifteen young subjects participated in the study. They were required to assume a staggered upright posture with left leg leading in front of a 75 por 75 cm raking box with 20-cm deep evenly distributed dry and wet sand and dirt. The subjects raked using a pulling and pushing action and a 60 cm stroke length at a self-selected optimum pace with a normal straight handled rake and with a rake with a modified handle. On the basis of the results of this study, the normal rake was concluded to be a better rakeRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 38, nº 9, September, 1995 ; p. 1793-1804Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Columna vertebral Fuerza muscular Biomecánica Dolor Postura Trabajo físico Electromiografía Secondary titles: Título: Ergonomics
