      ab: Movement variability is a component of human movement. This study applied recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) on electromyographic signals to determine the effects of two types of variables on movement variability during a short, simulated repetitive and standardised occupational clip-fitting task. The electrical activity of six muscles in the dominant upper limb was recorded in 21 participants. Variables related to the task performance (insertion force and movements performed when fitting clips) affected RQA measures: recurrence rate (RR), percentage of determinism (DET) and diagonal line length entropy (ENT). Variables related to participant's characteristics (sex, age, and BMI) affected only DET and ENT. A constrasting variability was observed such as a high-DET value combined with a high-ENT value and inversely. Variables affected mainly the recurrences organisation of the more distal muscles. Even if movement variability is complex, it should be considered by ergonomists and work place designers to better understanding of operators' movements. Practitioner summary: It is essential to consider the complexity of operators' movement variability to understand their activities. Based on intrinsic movement variability knowledge, ergonomists and work place designers will be able to modulate the movement variability by acting on workstation designs and occupational organisation with the aim of preserving operators' health.
