Endurance measurement

Folding Endurance Measurements. The MIT folding endurance test was run at 1/2 kg load in the machine direction, according to TAPPI T511-su-69. 

Overall, the greatest limitation with most endurance-related approaches is that the measures obtained cannot be used to perform task-related assessments. In a workplace assessment, for example, one can determine how long a specific task (defined by the conditions of load, range, and speed) needs to be performed. Endurance-related metrics can be used to reflect changes over time in a subjecfs available endurance capacity however, endurance-related metrics cannot be compared to the demands of the task. Task demands are measured in time or repetitions (e.g., 10 h) with a given rate (e.g., 1/0.5 h) from which total time (e.g., 5 h) can be calculated. A true endurance measure (vs. an endurance-related measure) can serve both purposes. Time reflects changes in endurance as the result of disease, disuse, training, or rehabilitation and also can be Hnked to task demands.

The following sections review some methods to quantify performance and lifting capability of isolated trunk muscles during a multilink coordinated manual materials-handling task. Relevant factors that influence the static and dynamic strength and endurance measures of trunk muscles will be addressed, and the clinical applications of these assessment techniques will be illustrated.
