1 MALE FEMALE Introduction Preventing Fatigue During Repetitive Tasks: Predicting Maximal Acceptable Efforts Using Duty Cycle Jim Potvin, PhD Department of Kinesiology Physical ergonomists must determine acceptable demands for a variety of tasks. Data exists for maximum efforts many strength studies available However, less data exists for prolonged and/or fatiguing tasks prolonged static intermittent complex time-histories Endurance as a Function of Effort Intermittent Tasks Maximum Holding Time (min) 7 3 Manenica (19) Rohmert (1973) Rohmert Rest Allowance Variable Demand Capacity Joint Moment Strength Holding Time Duration Maximum Holding Time (min) Maximum Moment (N m) Joint Strength Angle [K] (in degrees) Endurance Time Effort as a Percentage of Maximum Frey Law & Avin () Rest Allowance = 1! Holding Time 1. Holding Time Endurance Time Effort as a Percentage of Maximum Strength Demand Maximum Strength -.1
2 Intermittent Tasks Rohmert Rest Allowance Rohmert Rest Allowance % MVC Limitations Task must always be On/Off % MVC 3% % Assumes <1% MVC can be held indefinitely physiological data to the contrary even for 1 hour Maximum Holding Time (min) Time (s) Effort as a Percentage of Maximum Intermittent Tasks Psychophysics in Ergonomics Psychophysics has shown promise in Ergonomics Manual Materials Handling Tasks Liberty Mutual Texas Tech Snook and Ciriello Ayoub The power law in psychophysics Stevens (197) exponential relationship between sensations and their physical stimuli raised to some power these powers vary for different stimuli. Snook & Irvine (197) First published psychophysical study in physical ergonomics determine acceptable demands for repetitive manual materials handling tasks Snook et al (199) began psychophysical studies of the upper limbs
3 Psychophysical Methodology Example: Ciriello et al () Snook, Ciriello et al Subject controls maximal acceptable value typically resistance could also be frequency, rest, duration Procedure repetition rate controlled task requirements - Screw driving - Ulnar deviation - Handgrip gripping, screwdriver, wrist ulnar deviation etc subject controls the amount of resistance by moving an unmarked dial resistance changed every 1 minutes randomly selected direction and amount subjects instructed to work as if they were on an incentive basis, getting paid for the amount of work they performed. They were asked to work as hard as they could without developing unusual discomfort in the hands, wrists, or forearms symptoms were monitored Subject Training - days ramping from to 7 hours/day testing over another 3 weeks Moore & Wells () Potvin et al () Manual Electrical Connections - Wrist Extension - Simulated in-line screw running Description mating of electrical connectors in automotive assembly Study Biomechanics and Psychophysics 1 hours of training 9 hours of collection

Most tasks are repetitive, but most of the research data relates to single effort strengths. Psychophysics can provide valuable data related to acceptable forces and torques during repetitive tasks 3. Duty cycle can be used to estimate maximum acceptable efforts for repetitive, intermittent tasks with no associated psychophysical data. Rohmert Rest Allowances appear to overestimate acceptable demands. More research is needed for tasks that are: intermittent complex combined
