Exploring subjective and objective localized muscle fatigue responses at recommended upper limb ergonomics limits
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been associated with numerous negative outcomes, including a reduction in task performance and development of musculoskeletal injury. Thus, the quantification of LMF development in response to occupational task demands has become a major focus in the ergonomics …

Quantifying Localized Muscle Fatigue of the Forearm during Simulations of High Pressure Cleaning Lance Tasks
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been proposed as a surrogate measure to injury, since the onset of fatigue is rapid rather than months or years required to the onset of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The objectives of this study were to estimate LMF and quantify muscle activity …

Localized muscle fatigue during isotonic and nonisotonic isometric efforts
… complaints and problems. Research on localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been viewed as a viable endeavor toward understanding the processes and mechanisms associated with WMSDs. A mounting of evidence on local fatigue during sustained static work has been presented, but much less is …

Localized Muscle Fatigue: Theoretical and Practical Aspects in Occupational Environments
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon that involves exercise-induced decrements in the ability to generate force or power. LMF can adversely affect performance and may increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and is thus of contemporary …

Use of Statistical Mechanics Methods to Assess the Effects of Localized muscle fatigue on Stability during Upright Stance
… to reduce the prevalence of occupational falls. Localized muscle fatigue (LMF), altered sensory input, and inter-individual differences (e.g. age and gender) have been shown to influence postural control, and numerous methods have been developed in order to quantify such effects. Recently, …

Experimental and simulation-based assessment of the human postural response to sagittal plane perturbations with localized muscle fatigue and aging
… Previous research has established that localized muscle fatigue (LMF) increases center of mass (COM)- and center of pressure (COP)-based measures of quiet stance. This is important because these increases have been linked to elevated risk of falls, and workers in the construction …

Influence of Prolonged Sitting and Psychosocial Stress on Lumbar Spine Kinematics, Kinetics, Discomfort, and Muscle Fatigue
… demands, duration of exposures, and presence of muscle fatigue). A few studies have assessed low back loads in seated postures, but none has investigated the effects of prolonged sitting or time-dependent variations on spinal structure and spinal loading. Adverse effects of muscle fatigue on low …
