Michigan-type computerized biomechanical models have the potential to predict hazard levels of exertion in many activities besides lifting. This paper examines some of the assumptions in the models, particularly as regards muscle action at joints. Observed features of whole symmetrical exertions are described which could be used for comparison with and validation of the simpler models before extending their use to production in the real-life conditions of asymmetrical exertions.
