The results show associations between work - related perceived stress and trapezius muscle activity and rest during standardized
simulated computer work, and provide partial empirical support for the hypothesized pathway of stress induced muscle activity in the association between an adverse psychosocial work environment and musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and shoulder.
Abstract: The current study investigated the associations between work - related perceived stress and surface electromyographic (sEMG) parameters (muscle activity and muscle rest) during standardized
simulated computer work (typing, editing, precision, and Stroop tasks).
