Bibliographic information Apr. 1998, Vol.74, No. 4, p.135-155. Illus. 61 ref.
Abstract Summary in English. The purpose of the study was to investigate the degree of the muscle loading by repetitive manipulative tasks and its effects on the development of chronic fatigue as well as the relation of such muscle loading with physical features. Topics: cashiers and ticket clerks; cross-sectional study; electromyography; endurance limit; fatigue; measurement of load on muscles; muscle contractor activity; muscular strength; physical fitness; pulse rate; repetitive work; shoulder; upper extremity disorders; women; work posture.
