| Abstract: | Based on current knowledge of cumulative trauma disorders in the hand and forearm , related to the use of hand tools, an analysis was undertaken of variables to be considered in ergonomics evaluation of hand tools. Measurement methods (physical, physiological and psychophysical) were developed and an evaluation station was implemented. They focus on the tool, and on the effect of the use on the operator. The evaluation station serves as a resource in the development, selection, and testing of tools for a given purpose. |
