Abstract of "Hand Anthropometry"
Title: Hand Anthropometry Abstract There is little data available which specifies design requirements for hand controls which are usable by persons with handling and fingering disabilities. To date, the research addressing this issue is based on limited or able-bodied subject populations, does not look at differences between types and levels of disabilities, and is plagued with methodological problems, a reliance on laboratory settings. The purpose of this paper is to examine what is known about hand control design for persons with hand and finger disabilities to identify existing information gaps. The content of the paper has been broken down into three sections. The first section defines the scope of the problem, reviews empirical research concerning hand control design and hand anthropometrics, and reviews existing standards and codes. The second section of the paper is an annotated bibliography containing references pertinent to the topic of hand anthropometrics. The third section identifies areas which require research attention and suggests ways to address those research issues. To purchase a copy of this article, click the Buy Now button below.
