The Effects of the Traditional Scaling Technique Versus a Modified Scaling Technique on Muscle Activity and Pinch Force Generation: A pilot study

Conclusion: Use of a modified scaling technique may reduce muscle activity and pinch force generation as compared to the traditional lateral pressure scaling technique during instrumentation. Future research on ergonomic scaling techniques is needed to determine their efficacy and impact on musculoskeletal disorders.PMID:33875524
