The objectives of this study were to quantify the electromyographic activities (EMG) of finger muscles during prolonged, low-forces, and repetitive typing with an ergonomically designed VDT workstation, as well as to analyze the occurrence and the possible mechanisms of muscular fatigue in touched t...
