Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Forearm torque strengths and discomfort profiles in pronation and supination

Notas: This experiment investigated maximum forearm pronation and supination torques and forearm discomfort, for intermittent torque exertions in supine and prone forearm angles for the right arm. The results provide important strengh and discomfort models for the design of tasks involving static or repetitive forearm twisting. Such tasks have a strong association with forearm injuries including lateral and medial epicondylitis. These results provide needed data on the risk factors associated with these injuries so they can be preventedRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 48, nº 6, 15 May 2005 ; p. 703-721Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Confortabilidad Sistema hombre-máquina Fuerza muscular Lesiones musculares Extremidades superiores Factores de riesgo Otros autores: Gallwey, T.
