Acceptable work limits for the upper extremities with the psychophysical approach

누적외상병 예방을 위한 심생리학적 접근법을 이용한 상체작업의 안전한 작업기준의 설정에 관한 연구

This paper summarizes recent research in the use of the psychophysical method of adjustment to establish acceptable parameters for upper extremity work activities. Results from these studies show that this psychophysical approach can provide reliable guidelines based upon realistic job conditions which involve one or more risk factors for cumulative trauma. It is also shown that this method provides advantages over other psychophysical methods as well as current biomechanical and physioligical criteria.
