Influence of the working position of the upper extremities to the average value in % of Fmax at different muscular load degree

Abstract
Integrated electromyography (IEMG) is the most common method of local muscle load measuring. This method is in practice primarily intended for assessment of expended muscular forces in % of Fmax values (Fmax = maximal muscular force) of flexors and extensors of upper extremity (hand and forearm).
Basic task was to assess the influence of Fmax% values by working position. The significance of the conclusions of this task is important for the interpretation of local muscular load measurement results during the investigation of certain occupational diseases.
