Electromyography in Ergonomics

Abstract

Electromyography applications in the field of ergonomics has been used since a long time and developed on an ongoing basis until now. This application generally relates to the utilization of skeletal muscle activity to design products and equipment, workplace design, and the design of work methods and biomechanics even psychological effects. This is mainly to prevent injury muskoloskeletal. Movement flexors dynamic muscle flexion of the wrist has the largest RMS value is 134.56 flexors carpi ulnaris muscle of 69.77 and 68.87 carpi radialis. In the static flexion movements of the wrist muscles flexors has the largest RMS value is 130.35 flexors carpi ulnaris muscle of 53.78 and 30.98 carpi radialis. Movement of dynamic extension of the wrist extensors muscle has the largest RMS value is 219.70, while the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle of 178.99, and extensors carpi radialis 96.56. In the static extension movements of the wrist extensors muscle has the largest RMS value is 92.22 while the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle of 88.76 and 48.12 extensors carpi radialis.
