ABSTRACT

Although the issue of gestures at work is not a new one, evolutions in population demographics and in work continue to give it some prominence. The goal, newly reaffirmed, of standardization of work, where gestures are the focus of increasingly strong prescriptions, or the increase of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), makes it necessary to revisit the models and action strategies used by ergonomists to tackle the issue of gestures at work in their transformative actions.
