Inflexible working positions and one-sided strain of the body, confines an unnecessary part of the milker's energy in the milking parlour.
The milking routines in the milking parlour strains large parts of your upper body to an unnecessary extent. By changing routines and introducing helping tools, a great part of this strain is avoided.

Is milking really hard work No, healthy young men and women are not damaged by the work, but it wears down their backs, arms, and legs. As years go by, the work demands an ever increasing part of the energy we have naturally.
However, many everyday strains cannot be removed or eased, but by changing the things possible, you get more energy for doing other things.
Some things are more straining than others. But which work confines energy and wears down the body and what can you do to improve work routines in the milking parlour?

Movement and Variation Releases Energy.
When the milker is working in the milking parlour the straight-up working position is preferable. Your body is in the strongest position when twisting and bending-over your back is avoided.
It is important that there is sufficient space, and that no pipes, washing stations, or other things are placed where the milker has to stand. If the milker stands in a false position, and cannot point the tip of his shoes and his nose tip in the same direction while working, his back gets twisted.

The body's muscles confines energy, when we stand in the same working position for a long time. However, when we work with quiet movements in our own speed, we use the body's energy system in the optimum way, and we can work for longer time using the same amount of energy or have more energy for other things after we finished milking.

Cleaning and Pre-Milking
These are some of the assignments that strain your wrists a lot. The work demands a combination of precision and force in a false position, perhaps even a position where you bend over with your hands far away from your body's own centre of gravity. Many get unnecessary, one-sided strain by using one hand only for this work. If the milker once has a routine of using his right hand for this work then it is difficult to change the habit BUT it is worth while during a longer period.

Attaching and Detaching the Milk Cluster
When attaching the cluster, it is lifted and carried by one arm, while the milker attaches the teat cups on the cow's udder with the other hand. Carrying the cluster with one hand pulls your back in a false position and is reacting as a twist of your back.
The weight of the cluster is also important. If it weighs 2,4 kg, and 85 cows are milked 2 times per day, you lift approx. 800 kg, when attaching and detaching the cluster. This adds up to 257 tons per year.
With automatic detaching the weight is divided to “only” 400 kg per day, which adds up to 128,5 tons per year.

You twist the wrist of the hand that attaches the teat cups on the udder. With a herd of 85 milking cows, the milker makes this movement 680 times per day. If you use the same hand for cleaning the udder, it is an additional 1000 wrist movements per day (1-2 movements per teat).

With the Handy Comfort-Arm, the milker avoids to lift the many kilos every day. At the same time he is enabled to vary his work, so that attaching the cluster can take place with both hands, and thereby putting less strain to his back and hands.
