    摘要: Different loads are applied to the skeletal muscle of at least one of an upper arm, an upper limb girdle, and a lower limb of the test subject to cause isometric muscle contraction under each load and measure the muscle activity of the skeletal muscle. Then, an upper limit of the muscle activity in a region where a magnitude of the load and an intensity of the muscle activity have a linear relationship is determined as the limit in an appropriate muscle activity range that suits the test subject. Subsequently, the muscle activity of the skeletal muscle of a test subject operating an instrument is measured, and the test subject's force for operating the instrument is evaluated based on a frequency distribution where the frequency of the muscle activity of the skeletal muscle being exercised to operate the instrument is distributed with respect to the obtained limit.

The device has a pair of detecting sensors, an amplifier, a signal processing part, a work-load intensity calculating part, and an evaluation part. The sensors sense myoelectric potentials of the muscles at a time of the work. The signal processing part calculates a synchronous contraction intensity of the muscles by using myoelectric potential waveforms. The work-load intensity calculating part calculates a level of a work load intensity in the work. The evaluation part evaluates a level of comfort of the work by normalizing the synchronous contraction intensity by the level of the work load intensity calculated.

    摘要: A stress-at-work evaluating device evaluates a stress of a subject at a work by measuring of activities of a muscle, which are independent of activities of right and left masseter for opening and closing a jaw of the subject. The device evaluates the stress by normalizing myoelectric potential of the masseter muscles by a level of an external force acting on a head of the subject at the work. Alternatively, simultaneous contraction intensity of the right and left masseter muscles obtained by a simultaneous contraction waveform of the masseter muscles can be used instead of the normalized myoelectric potential.
