FIIP: Motor Variability in Occupational Work: Determinants & Physiological effects
Abstract [en]
Repetitive movements at work is one of the most prevalent risk factors for neck-shoulder musculo-skeletal disorders (MSD), and there are increasingly more occupations requiring repetitive work for long durations. In this context, variation in biomechanical exposure is often suggested as an effective intervention for decreasing risk of MSD.Increasing variation using extrinsic methods like job rotation may not always be possible. In such cases, the intrinsic variability of the motor system offers an opportunity to increase variation: by manipulating external work factors to produce more variable movements without loss in productive performance. Motor variability (MV) refers to the natural variation observed to different extents in all movements. Is it possible to capitalize on MV to increase exposure variation in occupational work, yet without loss of production? This is the basic question pursued in the present project.Since there are no standard methods to quantify MV in occupational settings, the proje
