Objective: Sustained return to work after surgery for work-related rotator cuff syndrome (WRRCS) remains quite difficult. The main purpose of the present study was to identify predictive factors of a return-to-work (RTW) trajectory.
Methods: 96…

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…

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…

Optical Motion Capture Systems (OMCS) are considered the gold standard for kinematic measurement of human movements. However, in situations such as measuring hand kinematics during a hairdressing activity, markers can be obscured, resulting…

Skill acquisition is traditionally assessed based on productivity measures, such as Movement Time (MT), which reflect task execution speed. However, movement smoothness may provide additional insights into skill progression by assessing improvements…

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…

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…
