Optimization of the temporal aspects of task design requires a better understanding of the
development of muscle fatigue over time. The study was aimed to use wearable devices to …

Physical fatigue in manual material handling (MMH) may cause musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs), which threatens the well-being of workers. However, conventional techniques for …

Human-Robot collaboration (HRC) have been actively applied in industry in a form of
interactacting with workers by detecting their muscle fatigue. During repetitive movements …

Fatigue has been identified as a significant contributor to workplace accident rates.
However, risk minimisation is a process largely based on self-reporting methodologies …

Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduced ability to maintain maximal strength during voluntary
contraction. It is associated with musculoskeletal disorders that affect workers performing …

Abstract Work-related Musculo Skeletal Disorders (WMSD) are considered the third main
reason for disability and early retirement in the US and are widespread in many …

Background: In order to reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs)
several methods have been developed, accepted by the international literature and used in …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) can monitor muscle activity and potentially predict fatigue
in the workplace. However, objectively measuring fatigue is challenging in complex work …

Muscle fatigue has proven to be a main factor in developing work-related musculoskeletal
disorders. Taking small breaks or performing stretching routines during a work shift might …

(1) Background: Surgeons are exposed to musculoskeletal loads that are comparable to
those of industrial workers. These stresses are harmful for the joints and muscles and can …
