Development of fatigue and discomfort in the upper trapezius muscle during light manual work

Article Abstract:

An investigation was conducted to know how muscle fatigue develops over a working-day time spell and how subjective and objective estimates of fatigue were related. The results indicated the development of muscle fatigue by both objective and subjective measurements but no clear connection was detected between the subjective and objective indicators of muscle fatigue.
