Poor workplace ergonomics often result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), a leading cause of work-related injuries. Addressing these ergonomic challenges with effective solutions can significantly enhance workplace safety and productivity. Noraxon’s EMG Systems provide a proactive approach to improving workplace safety and efficiency by delivering precise muscle activity data, allowing intra- and inter-subject comparisons with just a single click.

How EMG Supports Ergonomics

Electromyography (EMG) supports real-time ergonomic assessments by analyzing muscle activation and effort, providing critical insights for:

  • Neuromuscular Effort & Work Intensity: Quantify muscle activity with tools like Amplitude Probability Distribution Function (APDF) to assess task demands.
  • Fatigue and Stress Reduction: Assess neuromuscular effort to improve workflows and reduce physical strain.
  • Risk Factor Identification: Pinpoint excessive strain during specific tasks to guide ergonomic adjustments.
