Westgaard R, Winkel J
Appl Ergon . 2010 Sep; 42(2):261-96. PMID: 20850109
This literature review aims to identify occupational musculoskeletal and mental health effects of production system rationalization as well as organizational-level measures that may improve health outcome ("modifiers" in this review)....

Jensen C, Vasseljen Jr O, Westgaard R
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2010 Aug; 6(1):51-8. PMID: 20719662
The amplitude of electromyographic (EMG) surface recordings on the upper trapezius muscle and its reproducibility during maximal voluntary contractions were examined. At different electrode positions 1.5-3.0 cm lateral to the...

Jensen C, Westgaard R
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2010 Aug; 5(4):227-37. PMID: 20719653
The electromyographic (EMG) activity pattern across the upper trapezius of 22 healthy subjects was investigated during maximal isometric contractions. Eight bipolar surface electrodes with 10 mm distance between adjacent electrode...

Nilsen K, Sand T, Borchgrevink P, Leistad R, Ro M, Westgaard R
Scand J Rheumatol . 2008 Jan; 37(1):53-61. PMID: 18189196
Objective: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is often exacerbated by mental and social stress. The association between stress and musculoskeletal pain is potentially mediated by peripheral sympathetic nerves, either directly or indirectly...

Cephalalgia . 2006 Jan; 26(1):64-73. PMID: 16396668
We recorded deep pain and surface electromyographic (EMG) responses to stress in 22 migraineurs during headache-free periods, 18 patients with tension-type headache (TTH), and 44 healthy controls. Sixty minutes of...

Eur J Pain . 2005 Nov; 10(7):615-27. PMID: 16300974
The mechanisms of pain causation in fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic shoulder/neck pain (SNP) are still debated. We wanted to compare muscle activity and pain development during and after low-grade mental...

J Physiol . 2004 Dec; 562(Pt 3):965-75. PMID: 15576452
The spike-triggered averaged (STA) technique was used to examine trapezius motor unit potentials and their dependence on contraction amplitude and firing history. Individual motor unit firings were identified by a...
