Effects of inclination of 3 types of mouse and of their positioning on the work surface on the biomechanical stresses on the upper limb, on performance, and on the perception of the subjects EL2012-022 | 2012

Outline of reasons and objectives
The computer is in common use at work. In 2010, in France, 52% of workers used a computer at work and 23% of them remained in front of a screen for 20 hours or more per week. If the computer is in common use, then so is the mouse…
Developing and validating an ambulatory system for evaluating postures and upper limb movements under real working conditions EL2013-022 | 2013

Outline of reasons and objectives
The objective of this study was to develop and validate an ambulatory system for evaluating postures and movement of the upper limb, on the basis of inertial sensors. The use of such systems requires kinematic…
Identification of emerging determinants linked to the risk of MSDs: ergonomic and biomechanical analysis of the activity of meat cutting C.5/1.048 | 2011

Outline of reasons and objectives
The meat-cutting sector is one of the sectors that is most affected by musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Organisational changes, in particular when subcontracting is used, can mean that employees from a variety…

Modelling the vascular remodelling phenomena that result from exposure of the hand-arm system to vibration EL2014-004 | 2014

The physiopathological mechanisms induced by exposure of the hand-arm system to vibration are still ill-known, despite the steps taken by the European States to protect workers. That lack of knowledge lies behind the lack of representativeness…
Movement variability: characterisation during assembly work and capacity for integration into a computer aided design tool ET2014-001 | 2014

In all human movements, in particular those related to work activities, variability is observed. Even for a repetitive task, trajectories, muscular activities, or exerted forces are never identical, both for different people and for the same person…
Age-related impact of varied time constraints in an assembly task on biomechanical and physiological exertions C.5/1.049 | 2011

Outline of reasons and objectives
Working under time constraints is particularly difficult for ageing workers. “Leeway” or “room for manoeuvre” may enable regulation strategies to be put in place or production contingencies to be coped with more…
