TL;DR: In conclusion the wrist orthoses tested did not reduce the EMG-activity from the flexors or the extensors during gripping or manual tasks.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal surface material and cross-section of power tool handles are not sufficiently described in ergonomic literature, and the objective of the present study was to increase knowledge in these matters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the ergonomic conditions of manual spray painting in the woodworking industry and found that a majority of the spray painters had supraspinatus tendinitis in their right shoulder.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how different using conditions influence the surface pressure in the hand while performing simulated drilling tasks using an ordinary impact drilling machine and found that the pressure in all situations was highest on the web between the index finger and the thumb.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the accuracy of self-rating of duration and frequency of lifting and sorting tasks, using questions with open answers, in controlled laboratory experiments and concluded that the accuracy is sufficient for some applications but that the precision of selfrating of exposures is poor at the individual level.
