Trend Validation of a Musculoskeletal Model with a Workstation Design Parameter

چکیده
METHODS In this article, we investigated the effect of the table height on muscle activation levels during a meat cutting task. Preliminary results are provided from a single pilot recording (Age: 39 yrs; Body Mass: 72 kg; Height: 1.86 m). The subject was standing in front of a table and performing 10 cutting task cycles in the designed directions at three different table heights. The first one is the recommended table height for a light work [2] that corresponds to elbow height for a neutral position of the arm and was used as a reference. The two other heights were 10 and 20 cm below the reference height. The investigation aimed at verifying the musculoskeletal simulation by comparing simulated activation trends and the recorded EMG amplitude when the table height is decreasing.

تأثیر 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...

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...

Background and Aims: Sewing is one of the occupations where the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is high. Sewing conditions at the workstation have made them synonymous with musculoskeletal injuries in various areas of the body, particularly pain in the neck, shoulder, and upper back and even waist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a workstation designed for tailor...
متن کاملLarge-scale Inversion of Magnetic Data Using Golub-Kahan Bidiagonalization with Truncated Generalized Cross Validation for Regularization Parameter Estimation
In this paper a fast method for large-scale sparse inversion of magnetic data is considered. The L1-norm stabilizer is used to generate models with sharp and distinct interfaces. To deal with the non-linearity introduced by the L1-norm, a model-space iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is used. The original model matrix is factorized using the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization that proje...
