First, a psychophysical approach was utilized to identify participants’ maximum acceptable torque (in Nm) at 15 and 25 repetitions per min (rpm). Second, while performing an ulnar deviation task repetitively for 8 hours at their psychophysically acceptable torque, Tissue Oxygenation Index (TOI) and Tissue Hemoglobin Index (THI) were collected. Workers exerted lower acceptable torque for the task with a repetition rate of 25 rpm as compared to 15 rpm (3.57 ± 2.7 versus 3.97 ± 2.5 Nm, P=0.014). When the TOI responses (representing muscle oxygen saturation) after each hour of effort were matched for the net acceptable torque exerted, the mean TOI-torque ratio was 10.2% higher in the flexor region as compared to the extensor region throughout the workday. Also, when corrected for the torque exerted during both the 15 rpm and 25 rpm tasks, a dynamic adjustment of THI (representing muscle blood volume) to the time course of TOI resulted, suggesting a strong coupling between muscle blood flow and oxygen uptake as the task continued. Although the acceptable torque exerted was lowest for the 25 rpm task, the increased TOI-torque ratio coupled with increased THI per torque generated suggests that working at 25 rpm is metabolically more challenging than at 15 rpm. 2012-10-18T08:36:39Z 2012-10-18T08:36:39Z 2012-02-27 Working Paper p. 508-512 978-145771989-9 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6179070 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/21424 en Proceedings of the International Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICoBE 2012) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
