Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Strength capability while kneeling

Notes: Sumario: Work sometimes has to be carried out kneeling, particularly where jobs are performed in confined spaces as is common for miners, aircraft baggage handlers and maintenance workers. In order to assess the risks in performing forceful tasks under such conditions, data is needeed on strength capabilities of kneeling subjects. A study was undertaken to measure isometric strength in single-handed exertions for male subjects and to investigate the effects on this of task layout factors Related records: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 40, nº 12, December 1997 ; p. 1363-1379Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Condiciones de trabajo Resistencia Rodilla Métodos cuantitativos de medida Otros autores: Tracy, Moira F.
