An Evaluation of Fatigue and Performance Changes During Intermittent Overhead Work
… task performance during performance of simulated overhead assembly task. The study objectives were to better understand the relationship between fatigue development during overhead work and task performance. This relationship is important, considering that performance changes, or decreases in task …

Effects of Tool Weight on Fatigue and Performance During Short Cycle Overhead Work Operations
… that examined shoulder time to fatigue during overhead work in an attempt to reduce the prevalence and impact of work-related musculoskeletal problems in the shoulder associated with overhead work, particularly during automobile assembly. Existing evidence suggests that shoulder injuries are …

Evaluating Model-Estimated Shoulder Muscle Activity During Overhead Work with Varied Task Demands and Exoskeleton Use
… that can reduce shoulder stress during overhead tasks. However, the effects of these devices are task- and device-specific, and current evaluation protocols remain time-consuming and resource-intensive. Musculoskeletal modeling could simplify the process of ASE evaluation, by replacing …

Reliability of Fatigue Measures in an Overhead Work Task: A Study of Shoulder Muscle Electromyography and Perceived Discomfort
… of fatigue measures in an intermittent overhead work task. Fatigue measures included several EMG based parameters and subjective discomfort ratings through use of the Borg CR-10 scale. This study was part of a larger existing study that simulates overhead work in an automobile …

Predicting Shoulder Fatigue for Long Durations Using Psychophysical Measures Obtained from Short Trials
… disorders is a matter of continuing concern. Overhead work has especially been noted for its association with shoulder related musculoskeletal disorders. Research aimed at determining causal relationships between overhead work and risk of injury has increasingly used localized muscle fatigue …

Using Thermography to Evaluate the Effects of Arm Flexion and Loading on the Anterior Deltoid during a Simulated Overhead Task
Shoulder injuries are a focus of work related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) research due to rising healthcare costs, an aging workforce, and long recovery times. Substantial research has been performed in the area of shoulder WMSDs and a number of risk factors have been implicated in their …

Assessing the Effects of Exoskeletons on Physical Demands, Trip and Slip Risks, and User Perceptions in Manual Mining Tasks
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major health concern worldwide in the mining sector and are associated with frequent exposure to risk factors prevalent in manual mining tasks. Occupational exoskeletons (EXOs) are a promising ergonomic intervention to mitigate WMSD risk, by …
