Variability and misclassification of worker estimated hand force.
Ergonomic studies often use worker estimated hand force reproduced on a dynamometer to quantify force exposures but this method has not been well-studied in real work settings. This study evaluated the validity of worker estimates of hand force in a field study and determined the misclassification of worker estimated hand force exposures compared to directly measured forces. Eight experienced s...
متن کاملBimanual Force Variability and Chronic Stroke: Asymmetrical Hand Control
The purpose of this study was to investigate force variability generated by both the paretic and non-paretic hands during bimanual force control. Nine chronic stroke individuals and nine age-matched individuals with no stroke history performed a force control task with both hands simultaneously. The task involved extending the wrist and fingers at 5%, 25%, and 50% of maximum voluntary contracti...
متن کاملEstimated Global Hydrographic Variability
An estimate is made of the three-dimensional global oceanic temperature and salinity variability, omitting the seasonal cycle, both as a major descriptive element of the ocean circulation and for use in the error estimates of state estimation. Historical hydrography, recent data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, and Argo profile data are all used. Root-mean-square vertical displaceme...
متن کاملEffect of hand posture on maximum force grip and discomfort in tractor drivers
Maintain the best posture to use the maximum Force Grip is important in the design of work stations. The objective of this study was to measure grip strength and perceived discomfort at different hand positions and to investigate the effects of hand positions on grip strength and perceived discomfort among24 tractor drivers in Sanandaj. The maximum force grip in different Postures by hydraulic ...
متن کاملComparing Dominant and Non-Dominant Hand Performance with Force Changes In a Two-Hand Equilibrium Task: A Challenge to Dominant Hand Theories
Objective: Although most studies believe that the dominant hand performs better than the non-dominant hand in performing various tasks, there is still the challenge among researchers as to why the non-dominant hand performs better than the dominant hand in certain situations and tasks. The aim of this study was to compare dominant and non-dominant hand performance with force changes in a two-ha...
