Evaluation of holding handheld scanner on muscle activity, heart rate variability, and model accuracy in industrial applications
2019, International Journal of Industrial ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :The present study has implemented optimum sets that were obtained from the study conducted by Ameen et al. (2018), as follows: Laser scanner: 50% of laser power intensity, 3 mm of resolution, and 6 ms of shutter time; and white light scanner: 3 ms of shutter time with 2 mm of resolution. The participants were subjected to surface EMG (sEMG) following a standardized procedure to assess the muscle activation (Waters et al., 1990; Brandsma and Schreuders, 2001; Ekstrom et al., 2005; Kofler et al., 2007; Jakobsen et al., 2013; Hodder et al., 2016). The EMG activities of the six muscles were measured as the participants carried the scanner with their hands.

2013, Journal of Hand SurgeryCitation Excerpt :We evaluated the static 2-point discrimination (S2PD) scores, where we graded results under 6 mm as satisfactory values. Muscle strength of thumb opposition and palmar abduction was evaluated using the Manual Muscle Strength Testing system, as described elsewere.19 In short, M0 represents no visible or noticeable contraction and M5 represents full muscle strength.
