ERGONOMICS , 2001, vol. 44, n° 15, p. 1392-1402 Doc n°: 104523 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DD82 - EXPLORATION EXAMENS BILANS - MAIN-DOIGTS Characterizing human hand capabilities or demand created by various occupational tasks or activities of daily living has been mainly accomplished by measuring the maximum force exerted on a force dynamometer in a number of standard grips, for example power, key pinch and tip pinch grips. A framework is proposed instead to characterize human hand prehensile strength in generic form by describing external force and moment wrench capability, where a wrench is a vector describing the forces and moments applied at a point. It is further suggested that if tools and activities are characterized by the internal forces and external forces and moments required, a better understanding of the human prehension in occupational settings and during activities of daily living can be obtained. An example of using a pistol grip drill is used to show the utility of the approach. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2002222459 |
