Effects of precision and force demands, grip diameter, and arm support during manual work : an electromyographic study / E. Milerand, M.O. Ericson

Sumario: Musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, shoulder, and arm are common in some occupational groups, and have been ascribed to high precision demands and sustained static load in the neck-shoulder region. In order to evaluate the influence of precision and force demands in manual work related to arm support, instrument grip size, the muscular activity in neck, shoulder, and arm muscles was recorded by electromyographic
