(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-02-24)
With population and industry growth, increased consumption of disposable materials, the activity of the recyclable material collectors has become indispensable to society. The work process of recyclable material collectors ...
Medidas diretas na avaliação da exposição biomecânica de trabalhadores em ambiente real
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-12-12)
The use of objective measurements to quantify biomechanical exposure of workers in real environment has been stimulated by its accuracy and precision. Furthermore, observational methods, self-reports and the use of ...
Avaliação de pegas e sobrecarga dos membros superiores durante o manuseio de caixas : aspectos biomecânicos e perceptuais
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2012-06-21)
Manual material handling (MMH) is a common task in occupational environments and has been associated with musculoskeletal disorders at low back and upper limbs. Studies have shown that the correct hand/box coupling can ...
Efeito da hipóxia local na magnitude da ativação, força, massa e arquitetura muscular decorrente do treinamento de força
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-04-28)
Local hypoxia (i.e. intramuscular) resulting from resistance training (RT) contributes to ions H+ accumulation and decreased muscle pH (i.e. metabolic stress). It has been
suggested that the accumulation of these metabolites ...
Análise da atividade elétrica e do torque da musculatura abdutora do ombro em sujeitos hemiparéticos crônicos
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2010-03-03)
Background: There is still a lack of evidence of how electromyographic (EMG) patterns deficits of muscle activation are related to the shoulder abduction movement in people with chronic hemiparesis. Objective: Analyze EMG ...
