Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fever is a frequent medical sign that describes an increase in internal body temperature to levels above normal. Fever is most accurately characterized as a temporary elevation in the body's thermoregulatory set point, usually by about 1?2 °C (1.8-3.6 °F). Fever is caused by an elevation in the thermoregulatory set point, causing typical body temperature (generally and problematically considered to be 37 °C or 98.6 °F) to rise, and effector mechanisms are enacted as a result. A feverish individual has a general feeling of cold despite an increased body temperature, and increases inheart rate, muscle tone and shivering, all of which are caused by the body's attempts to counteract the newly perceived hypothermia and reach the new thermoregulatory set-point. Fever differs from hyperthermia in that hyperthermia is an increase in body temperature over the body's thermoregulatory set-point, due to excessive heat production or insufficient thermoregulation, or both. A fever is considered one of the body's immune mechanisms to attempt a neutralization of a perceived threat inside the body, be it bacterial or viral. ... Read more

Description:
The study compared the EMG changes and discomforts experienced by a symptomatic and an asymptomatic group of office workers when they were challenged by the physical stressors of increased typing speed and increased typing force. 21 female office workers were recruited in the Case Group and 20 in the Control Group. Each subject had to perform 20min of typing in 3 conditions: Normal, Faster and Harder; which described the requirement to work with normal speed and force, faster speed and harder force, respectively. The Case Group showed trends for higher muscle activities in all three conditions in both the upper trapezius and cervical erector spinae muscles. On the whole, there were greater increases in muscle activities in both groups under the Faster condition, implying that increasing the typing speed was a more difficult demand. When the Case subjects were sub-divided into High and Low (Discomfort) Groups, greater differences in muscle activities were revealed. It was mainly the High Group that showed the greatest changes in terms of muscle activities and discomforts. The Low Group showed moderate increases in discomforts and muscle activities, while the Control Group showed minimal changes in both. The results supported the ''Altered Motor Control'' model in the symptomatic individuals who may also have developed a ''heightened sensitivity'' to physical stressors due to their prolonged history of discomforts in the past. Relevance to industry: The study demonstrated different reactions of symptomatic and asymptomatic office workers when they were subjected to the same physical stressors. These inter-individual differences in physiological and psychological responses should be considered when ergonomic interventions are introduced. The results also demonstrated that the factors of speed and force of keyboard operation may have important influences on the muscle activities and discomforts in computer users. ... Read more

Product Description
Muscle weakness, also known as muscle fatigue, or "lack of strength" is a direct term for the inability to exert force with one's muscles to the degree that would be expected given the individual's general physical fitness. A test of strength is often used during a diagnosis of a muscular disorder before the etiology can be identified. Such etiology depends on the type of muscle weakness, which can be true or perceived as well as variable topically. True weakness is substantial, while perceived rather is a sensation of having to put more effort to do the same task. On the other hand, various topic locations for muscle weakness are central, neural and peripheral. Central muscle weakness is an overall exhaustion of the whole body, while peripheral weakness is an exhaustion of individual muscles. Neural weakness is somewhere between. Muscle weakness can be a result of vigorous exercise but abnormal fatigue may be caused by barriers to or interference with the different stages of muscle contraction. In a broader sense, muscle weakness is the muscular part of asthenia which may also be psychogenic, that is, physical fatigue with mental origin. ... Read more

Description:
Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb are common among semi-automated occupational hand transfer tasks. Ten healthy adults were recruited (five males, five females). Surface electromyography (EMG) was collected from eight muscles of the right arm: Upper trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digitorum indicis, and flexor digitorum superficialis. The task consisted of a repetitive transfer of a 1.8-kg part at 2, 3, and 5s cycle times (CTs), using power and chuck grips, and under precision and non-precision conditions. EMG was quantified using the amplitude probability distribution function (muscle loading) and gaps analyses (muscle rest). For all muscles, static (tenth percentile APDF) loading exceeded 1% and the muscle rest from gaps was below 10% at 2 and 3s CT. Precision increased loading in forearm muscles, and increased perceived difficulty (p<0.001). The findings suggest that precision increased the loading by about 43% in the distal musculature under the conditions tested. Relevance to industry: This study will be useful in modeling lower risk CT and designing precision jobs (e.g. hand transfer) in semi-automated industries. Muscle loading and rest as physiologic parameters are influenced differently by CT, grip type and precision requirements of a task. ... Read more
