Shoulder girdle muscle activity and fatigue in traditional and improved design carpet weaving workstations.
OBJECTIVES Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the neck and shoulder regions are common among carpet weavers. Working for prolonged hours in a static and awkward posture could result in an increased muscle activity and may lead to musculoskeletal disorders. Ergonomic workstation improvements can reduce muscle fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ai...
متن کاملThe Impact of Ergonomically Designed Workstations on Shoulder EMG Activity during Carpet Weaving.
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical exposure to the trapezius muscle activity in female weavers for a prolonged period in the workstation A (suggested by previous studies) and workstation B (proposed by the present study). METHODS Electromyography data were collected from nine females during four hours for each ergonomically designed workstation at the Ergonomics ...

Introduction: Carpet-weaving is one of the hard and harmful jobs, which affect the health of the workforce. Based on the previously conducted research, musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, shoulder, and lower back regions are common among carpet weavers. This study conducted to investigate the muscle activity of the shoulder and lower back regions in carpet weavers during work on traditional ...
متن کاملبررسی اثر دو ایستگاه کار قالیبافی بر خستگی عضلات ناحیه شانه به دو روش عینی و ذهنی
Background and aims : Long term working in a static and awkward posture is known as an important risk factorof work related musculoskeletal disorders in hand carpet weavers. Inappropriate workstation and awkward posture can increase the electrical activity and fatigue in muscles. The aim of this study was the measurement of muscle load and fatigue by surface electromyography and Borg CR-10 sc...
متن کاملتأثیر یک ایستگاه کاری قالیبافی بر خستگی عضله ذوزنقه ای
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effect of carpet weaving at a proposed workstation on Upper Trapezius (UTr) fatigue during a task cycle. Fatigue in the shoulder is one of the most important precursors for upper limb musculoskeletal disorders. One of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders between carpet weavers is disorder of the shoulder region. Methods: This cross-se...
