The present field study examines forearm muscle activity during 9 common cleaning tasks in a real working environment. Seven healthy cleaners participated in this study (age: 35.17 \u00b1 9.62 yr; height: 168.17 \u00b1 8.06 cm; weight: 77.14 \u00b1 13.78 kg; experience: 5.60 \u00b1 3.29 yr). Surface wireless electromyography (EMG) was recorded from 2 muscles on both sides of the upper limb, flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), and extensor carpi radialis (ECR), and normalized to maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC). Top-3 demanding high-force tasks (90th percentile EMG) were the rough floor, dirty rough floor, and office floor mopping for the FCU, and mopping high walls, ceiling mopping, and baize cleaning for the ECR. Top-3 static work tasks (10th percentile EMG) were mopping low walls, ceiling mopping, and dirty rough floors mopping for the FCU and mopping of high walls, low walls, and ceiling for the ECR. The study identified the forearm muscles\u2019 most physically demanding work tasks during cleaning tasks. The development of better working tools is recommended to avoid high-force overload as well as prolonged static overload of these muscles in cleaners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/annweh\/wxae053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T19:03:52Z","timestamp":1719255832000},"page":"748-755","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Identification
