| Abstract |
A study was made of 12 females performing a simulated drilling task using nine wrist postures at an adjustable workstation. Results revealed that flexion, extension and radial deviation all had a significant effect on maximum acceptable frequencies, while ulnar deviation did not. The postures are ranked in order of possible risk of contributing to cumulative trauma disorders, with neutral having the lowest risk and flexion having the highest risk. |
