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…

Among musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of the upper limb, work-related degenerative injuries to the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles, which stabilise the shoulder, are frequent, and particularly costly and disabling. Going back to work after…

Repetitive work at required pace, as observed on assembly lines, is often characterized by reduced amounts of temporal margin of maneuver (TMM). Various epidemiological studies have shown that working under time constraints is particularly…

Time constraints can be particularly stressful for older workers in repetitive work. Opportunities for work rate regulation could offer a way of dealing with production variations. The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the effects…

Magneto-Inertial Measurement Unit sensors (MIMU) display high potential for the quantitative evaluation of upper limb kinematics, as they allow monitoring ambulatory measurements. The sensor-to-segment calibration step consisting in…

The hand-held machines are the source of many nuisances that can lead to occupational diseases and occupational accidents.
These risks must be identified and evaluated in order to design safer machines and improve their conditions of use.

Outline of reasons and objectives
Current knowledge makes it possible to assert the existence of links between exposure to certain psychosocial risk factors (PRFs) and short-term and long-term damage to health. Exposure to PRFs is generally…

The observation of a high number of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in some industrial sectors (automotive, assembly of appliances), knowledge of the main biomechanical risk factors related to the occurrence of these diseases and ergonomic…

Our study compared muscular activity and resultant external force measurements during a clip fitting activity. Clips were inserted with two methods: with bare hands and with a pneumatic tool. Measurements were compared with the thresholds…
