Opis:: The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) survey is a posture-sampling tool used specifically to examine the level of risk associated with upper limb disorders of individual workers. This paper examines the relationship between RULA’s postural scoring system and measures of surface electromyography (EMG), self-reports of discomfort, and job attitude questionnaires. Twenty participants each performed a 30-min typing task on a computer in 3 working postures based on RULA’s scoring system. A statistically significant difference was found only in perceived discomfort. The perceived discomfort results demonstrated that RULA was able to identify “high risk” postures. The next question we need to ask is, does perceived discomfort result in tissue damage, or does tissue damage yield discomfort?

Opis:: The purpose of this study was to develop a relationship to evaluate the grip force (forcerel) using the electromyogram (EMGrel) of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and of the extensor digitorum (ED) according to the flexion-extension wrist angle (0t-e) and to the pronation-supination forearm angle (0p-s). Fifteen participants had to exert 3 levels of grip forces in 4 positions of the wrist combined with 3 positions of the forearm. The relationship is: forcerel = 0.0045 • 0t-e • EMGrel(FDS) + 0.48 • EMGrel(FDS)-0.0014 • 0t-e • EMGrel(ED) -0 .0016 • 0p-s • EMGrel(ED) • 0.4- EMGrel(ED) This relationship can be used to estimate grip force for levels of strength lower than 50% of the maximal voluntary contraction.

Opis:: The aim of the present study was to develop a relationship to evaluate grip force using the electromyogram (EMG) in isometric anisotonic conditions. The EMGs of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and the extensor digitorum (ED) were recorded in 3 flexion-extension positions of the wrist (30° flexion, 30° extension, and 60° extension) associated with 3 positions of the forearm (70° pronation, prono-supination, and 70° supination). For each position, the participants had to follow linear ramp targets (2 rates of increase and decrease) displayed on an oscilloscope. The results show the best fit is a quadratic type force-EMG relationship. Some aspects such as the rate of force variation and the forearm and wrist positions are then discussed along with the limitations of the relationship.
