Work pace, stress, and cumulative trauma disorders
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987This paper discusses the potential roles of work pace and work pressure as risk factors in the development of cumulative trauma disorders. Specifically, electromyographic (EMG) data were collected from the forearm flexor muscles of workers performing a highly repetitive task.
