Influence of the upper limb position on the forearm EMG activity – preliminary results

Abstract

The paper is focused on influence of the upper limb position on the forearm EMG activity. This paper briefly reviews proposed methodology and measuring process. Those results are just preliminary which served for evaluation of proposed methodology. The research is focused on the issue of local muscular stress in the area of the hand and forearms. The lateral muscular stress is evaluated by integrated electromyography. The paper presents preliminary results of male group (20–45 years). The research will continue and will be extended to other groups and also to female population.
