Attention-related muscle activity in different body regions during VDU work with minimal physical activity / M. Waersted and R.H. Westgaard

Sumario: The purpose of this study was to characterize regional variation in task-irrelevant muscle activity. Surface EMG was recorded at 20 different muscle sites during a complex choice-reaction task. Up to ten muscle sites were recorded in parallel and always including the upper trapezius muscles. The experimental setting was designed to minimize the physical activity while performing a VDU-based task demanding continuing attention
