Applied Ergonomics - vol. 27 n° 5 -
"In the manufacturing industry highly repetitive movement patterns in the work situation are common. This work situation is often the cause of pain in the neck-arm region. To measure these movement patterns a new method has been developed by registering acceleration during ordinary industrial work. Three small accelerometers were fastened horizontally, tranversely and vertically in a small box at the wrist. The data were fed into a computer memory at the work site and analysed later. The method can be used during ordinary work in a factory causing no interference to the work."
