Note the two plates being carried in one hand and the other placed in the contra-lateral hand with prehensile grasping<br />

(photographs 6-7).<br />

Clearing of the tables involves carrying up to ten plates at a time, which could weigh just over 10 kg. Scraping,<br />

stooping over the table and similar motions with skilful actions are desirable simultaneously (photograph 8).<br />

Pouring coffee while carrying a hot kettle of up to two litres may also entail some pronation/supination motions<br />

with the forearms and abduction rotation postures with the shoulders (photograph 9). Manoeuvring and<br />

pushing/pulling trolleys is involved along with carrying trays full of glasses, cups etc. The push/pull forces measured<br />

were less than 5kg (photographs 10-11).
