Ergonomics risk assessment with digital human models in car assembly: Simulation versus real life
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how well ergonomics risk assessments on simulations with digital human models (DHM) match real-life assessments obtained on a car assembly line.
Discomfort/Pain and Tissue Oxygenation at the Lower Limb During Circumferential Compression: Application to Soft Exoskeleton Design.
TL;DR: Discomfort and pain during circumferential compression at the lower limb is related to the width of pneumatic cuffs, the inflation pattern, and the volume of soft tissue at the assessment site.
Perceived discomfort functions based on joint moment for various joint motion directions of the upper limb.
TL;DR: Cluster analysis showed that the twelve discomfort functions formed two clusters: one for elbow flexion and a second for the remaining joint motions, and data show that elbowflexion is more sensitive than other joint motions to increases in the joint moment ratio.
Ergonomic Design Issues in Some Craft Sectors of Jaipur
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the risk factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders in three craft sectors of Jaipur in India, including blue pottery, handloom and gota patti.

Muscles alive, their functions revealed by electromyography
John V. Basmajian
- 01 Jan 1978
TL;DR: The first logical deduction of muscle-generated electricity was first documented by Italian Francesco Redi in 1666 as discussed by the authors, who suspected that thenshock of the electric ray fish was muscular in origin and wrote, lIt appeared to me as if the painful action was located innthese two sickle-shaped bodies, or muscles, more than any other part of the body.

A technique for assessing postural discomfort.
E. N. Corlett,R P Bishop +1 more
TL;DR: A technique is described which enables the distribution of discomfort in the body, and its change during the work poriod, to be recorded to indicate points of inadequate man-machine compatibility as well as permitting the evaluation of the effectiveness of machine designs.

Theories of musculoskeletal injury causation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that while these theories may explain the immediate mechanism of precipitation of injuries, they all operate simultaneously and interact to modulate injuries to varying degrees in different cases.
