Muscle Activity of the Upper and Lower Body Part in Car Gearing Action: A Preliminary Study / Nor Kamaliana Khamis...[et al.]
Understanding of the muscle activity and its activation in driving task is very important. It can provide more knowledge to study the effects on the muscle when performing different driving styles task within certain duration. The main objective of this study is to investigate the role of the main p...
