Biomechanical comparison of carpet-stretching devices / J. Village, J.B. Morrison and A. Leyland

Sumario: The objective of this study was to compare existing methods of stretching carpet by quantifying the kinematics and kinetics of the task, particularly the leg action at the worker-tool interface, when using a knee-kicker. Mechanical characteristics of the tools and materials used in carpet laying were also investigated
