N2  - It is likely that many musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the result of a gradual accumulation of damage that results from a process of fatigue failure. Studies on the mechanical responses of cadaveric materials to loading provide much of our knowledge of the properties of human tissues and should be of considerable interest to the ergonomist. The purpose of the present investigation was to perform Weibull analyses on data provided in fatigue failure studies of human extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and human lumbar motion segments to evaluate the reliability and fatigue life when these materials are loaded at various levels of their ultimate strength.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
