| Abstract: | Prolonged standing is common in many industry workplaces. It is also quite common for workers to complain of discomfort in the back and legs as a result of prolonged standing. Mats are often provided for the worker to relieve this fatigue. However, there is no quantitative evidence that these mats relieve leg and back fatigue. Subjects were asked to stand on a concrete surface and two mat surfaces for prolonged periods of time. Spectral electromygraphic analyses indicated that mats reduced localized muscle fatigue in the erector spinae muscle only. |
