Influence of the subcutaneous fat layer, as measured by ultrasound, skinfold calipers and BMI, on the EMG amplitudeC Nordander
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, 221 85 Lund, Sweden
Eur J Appl Physiol 89:514-9. 2003..The corresponding figure for BMI was 67%. In conclusion, skinfold thickness explains a major part of the inter-individual variance in sEMG amplitude, and normalization to this measure is a possibility worth further evaluation...
Precision of measurements of physical workload during standardised manual handling. Part I: surface electromyography of m. trapezius, m. infraspinatus and the forearm extensorsC Nordander
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, SE 221 85 Lund, Sweden
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 14:443-54. 2004..The between-days and between-subjects variability may be used to optimise sampling strategy, and to assess the bias in epidemiological studies. The bias caused by measurement procedures per se is acceptable...
Questionnaire versus direct technical measurements in assessing postures and movements of the head, upper back, arms and handsG A Hansson
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
Scand J Work Environ Health 27:30-40. 2001..This study compares questionnaire-assessed exposure data on work postures and movements with direct technical measurements...
Sensitivity of trapezius electromyography to differences between work tasks - influence of gap definition and normalisation methodsG A Hansson
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 10:103-15. 2000..Normalisation to RVE, rather than MVE, improved sensitivity to differences between tasks, and reduced undesirable variability. Muscular rest was more sensitive to task differences than APDF percentiles...
Precision of measurements of physical workload during standardised manual handling. Part II: Inclinometry of head, upper back, neck and upper armsG A Hansson
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, SE 221 85 Lund, Sweden
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 16:125-36. 2006..The contribution of the measurement procedure per se to the between-days variability, i.e., the imprecision of the method, was small: less than 2 degrees for angles and 3% for angular velocity...
Questionnaire-based mechanical exposure indices for large population studies--reliability, internal consistency and predictive validityI Balogh
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University, Lund University Hospital, Sweden
Scand J Work Environ Health 27:41-8. 2001..This study attempts to construct valid indices for mechanical exposure of the shoulder-neck region with relation to the development of shoulder-neck pain in a 1-year perspective study of a general population...
Validity of self-assessed reports of occurrence and duration of occupational tasksJ Unge
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University Hospital, SE 221 85 Lund, Sweden
Ergonomics 48:12-24. 2005..Still, the diary would be useful for the calculation of job exposure, by time-weighting task exposure data, when the tasks and/or their duration vary between days...
Self-assessed and directly measured occupational physical activities--influence of musculoskeletal complaints, age and genderI Balogh
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Lund SE 221 85, Sweden
Appl Ergon 35:49-56. 2004..Rate of perceived exertion showed low correlation with heart rate ratio within the two occupational groups, but high, 0.64 when the two groups were combined. Age and complaints explained 31% of the variance for the cleaners...
Precision of measurements of physical workload during standardized manual handling part III: goniometry of the wristsI Balogh
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Akutgatan, S 221 85 Lund, Sweden
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 19:1005-12. 2009..For movements, the between-days variability was also small, while there was a larger between-subjects variability. The imprecision of goniometry is consequently lower and comparable with inclinometry but lower than for EMG...
Health effects of occupational exposure to acrylamide using hemoglobin adducts as biomarkers of internal doseL Hagmar
Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden
Scand J Work Environ Health 27:219-26. 2001..This study assessed the health effects of occupational acrylamide exposure using hemoglobin (Hb) adducts as biomarkers of internal dose...
