Muscle fatigue caused by improper working posture and excessive force among various industrial accidents can develop into serious diseases. The functional jacket is designed to reduce arm load and support muscle strength by applying dynamic taping, which is known to be effective in reducing muscle load. The effect of reducing upper extremity load and supporting muscle strength was verified by electromyography and subjective evaluation. As a result, it was confirmed that the activity of the brachial muscle and erector spinae muscle was low during fruit picking, and low wrist flexion and low erector spinae muscle activity were found when handling fruit and lifting a fruit basket. Even in the subjective evaluation, it was evaluated as the best in most evaluation items. It is expected that this study can contribute to the improvement of work efficiency for arm use workers.
