The aim of this study is to describe a way to determine kind and level of stress which interests that part of the neuromuscolar system more directly involved during driving. In order to test the conditions in the easiest way, even if this implies some approximations, we developed a model using a driving simulator Safety in Action 25-28 February 1998 2 connected to an electromyographic apparatus able to detect the levels of muscular activity in different working conditions. These conditions include the movements done by the driver on the driving simulator as well as the postural muscular work. This study has been carried out thanks to an interdisciplinary approach where different specialists were involved in the various issues mentioned above.
