Measurments with Smartwear clothes

The measurements used smart clothing and technology from the Finnish company Myontec. Motion sensors in the smart shirt and shorts were used to measure the load on the arms, shoulder area and thigh muscles, the number of micro-breaks during muscle work and the elevated position of the upper arms. It should be noted that not all muscle groups were measured with the smart clothing, e.g. the smart wear for measuring back load was not used.

The tests were carried out in Finland during October and November 2022 in cooperation with the staff of Keuda Cleaning Services. Two cleaners were involved in the studies. Each of the employees performed two repetitions of the tested methods.
