Document Summary

Hand/wrist: flexion, extension, ulnar/radial deviation, wrist twist, forceful gripping, repetitive movements, long durations, static loading. Implications: trigger finger, de quervain s tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel (space btwn carpals and carpal transverse lig when tendons inflame pinch median nerve) Con: cannot be used in isolation to make a final decision. Pro: includes intensity, duration, frequency, hand/wrist posture, speed of work, duty cycle. Con: more general by categories, speed and intensity may be subjective if using borg. 4+ hrs/day, repeated short cycles of similar motions. Pros: specific to hand work, best when emg used for effort and observers used for hal. Cons: hal can be subjectively measured, even objective still has large ranges, borg is objective. Most specific to exact postures, duty cycle/durations.
