Abstract:
The use of surface electromyographic (SEMG) techniques in evaluating production line workstations is illustrated through the use of two case studies. Evaluation procedures are introduced. The results illustrate how SEMG can be used to document the strain upon muscles of the neck and shoulders and how workstations may be altered to comply with government regulations.
