Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Acceptable weights and physiological costs of performing combined manual handling tasks in restricted postures

Notas: Sumario: Eight healthy, male underground coal miners participated in a study examining psychophysically acceptable weights and physiological cost of performing combined lifting and lowering tasks in restricted headroom cinditions. Independent variables included posture, task symmetry, and vertical lift distance. Results of this study indicate that materials that must belifted manually in low-seam coal mines be designed in accordance with the decreased lifting capacity exhibited in the kneeling postureRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 34, nº 7, July 1991 ; p. 939-952Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Psicofísica Carga de materiales Operaciones de carga y descarga Contracciones musculares Fisiología Postura Casos prácticos Minas de carbón Métodos experimentales Diseño Títulos secundários: Título: Ergonomics
