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…

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…

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…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to physical, organisational, psychosocial, and environmental constraints at work can lead to a degradation in health. Various tools make it possible to assess such constraints…

Standard laparoscopy is responsible for musculoskeletal problems because of surgeons anti-ergonomic positions. Robot-assisted laparoscopy seems to reduce these musculoskeletal disorders because of the surgeons seated position. The…

Increasing age of workers should be taking into account in the work station conception. It is known that functional capacities and muscle properties physiologically change with ageing. This experiment wanted to investigate motor adaptation…

The aim of this study was to quantify cardiac, energetic and subjective strains during manual wheelchair (MWC) travel on cross slopes (Cs). 25 paraplegics achieved eight 300 m propulsion tests combining 4 Cs (0, 2, 8 and 12%) and 2 velocities (Vi = 0.97 m s-1, Vc…

Garbage collection is physically demanding work and is usually performed by a crew composed of one driver and two loaders (two-loader organization, “TL”). French companies have recently introduced a new work organization mode, reducing the workforce…
