Impact of a 10-min typing task in the development of trapezius myalgia: a preliminary observational study

Impact of a 10-min typing task in the development of trapezius myalgia: a preliminary observational study

Computer use, as in typing, might contribute to trapezius myalgia (TM) development by increasing upper trapezius (UT) muscle fatigue. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether 10 min of performing a typing task by a population at risk would show significant changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) measurements. Supported and unsupported forearms postures are compared.
