description | [Purpose] The present study examined the effects of wearing rubber gloves on the activities of the forearm and shoulder muscles during two dishwashing stages. [Subjects] This study included 10 young females. [Methods] The participants performed two dishwashing stages (washing and rinsing) with and without rubber gloves. The activities of the wrist flexor and upper trapezius muscles were measured using wireless electromyography. [Results] During the washing stage, the activities of the wrist flexor and upper trapezius muscles were significantly greater without gloves than with gloves when performing the same tasks. However, during the rinsing stage, the activities of these muscles did not differ significantly according to the use of gloves. [Conclusion] Dishwashers should wear gloves during the washing stage to prevent wrist and shoulder pain. |
