What is CONTACT STRESS in ERGONOMICS?
Internal stress occurs when a tendon, nerve, or blood vessel is stretched or bent around a bone or tendon. External contact stress occurs when part of your body rubs against a component of the workstation, such as the chair seat pan or edge of the desk. Nerves may be irritated or blood vessels constricted as a result.
