Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - Effect of concrete block wight and wall height on electromyographic activity and heart rate of masons

Notes: Work related musculoskeletal disorders are common among construction workers, such as masons. Few interventions are available to reduce masons' exposure to heavy lifting, a risk factor for MSDs. The purpose of this study was to determine wether one such intervention, the use of light-weight concrete blocks, reduces physiological loads compared to standard-weight blocksRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 48, nº 10, 15 August 2005 ; p. 1314-1330Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Electromiografía Pesos Carga física Construcción Otros autores: Anton, D.
