A phrase on the piano rises up into an electronic swell as the increasingly breathy dancers isolate parts of their bodies into extreme postures.
These results demonstrate the utility of a new express checkstand design that could reduce extreme postures and motions with no loss in productivity.
The repetition of movements using extreme postures, the equipment manipulation requirements, the long working hours, heavier patient loads, less staff coverage, fewer opportunities for downtime and working in an environment with low temperatures can promote the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) [1, 2, 3].
The purpose of the paper, with its focus on the US context, is to emphasize the diversity of views and agendas coexisting under the disciplinary label synthetic biology, as the two models analysed are only presented as two extreme postures in the community.
The aim of this review paper is to outline relevant information about CTS risk factors present in data entry task and their implications, with a special emphasis on different extreme postures determined by conventional and alternate keyboards, pointing devices and their role in the development of CTS.
The 10th and 90th posture percentiles are intended to measure the occurrence of neutral and extreme postures, respectively, in a posture recording.
In occupational studies, percentiles of the cumulative posture distribution have been commonly used to assess the occurrence of neutral and extreme postures.
In addition to the effects of neutral and extreme postures in their own right, lack of posture variation is also commonly accepted to imply an increased risk for disorders, especially in the shoulders and neck [ 33, 34].
In the case of "extreme" postures measured through the 90th percentile, an expectedly increasing relationship with an MSD outcome would be attenuated by exposure imprecision but amplified by the downward bias.
