 Electromyographic activity of the ECU muscle changes with exposure to repetitive ulnar deviation
With little known about the changes of muscle physiology due to repetitive work during an eight-hour workday, our objective was to quantify changes in muscle activity due to this type of work.
Electromyographic (EMG) activity of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle (ECU) was recorded during voluntary isometric contractions (20% and 60% MVC) eight times throughout the work and control days at 0, 2, 4.25, 6.75, 8, 9, 10, and 11 hours.
Initial median frequency of the EMG signal showed no change between the control and workdays (p = 0.51); however, the decline of the median frequency with respect to time over the course of each isometric contraction was steeper during workdays compared to control days (p = 0.003).
