Firefighter Hand Anthropometry and Structural Glove Sizing: A New Perspective
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the current use and fit of structural firefighting gloves and developed an improved sizing scheme that better accommodates the U.S. firefighter population. BACKGROUND Among surveys, 24% to 30% of men and 31% to 62% of women reported experiencing problems with the fit or bulkiness of their structural firefighting gloves. METHOD An age-, race/ethnicity-, and gender-stra...
متن کاملHand anthropometry of Indian women.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Data on the physical dimension of the hand of Indian women are scanty. This information is necessary to ascertain human-machine compatibility in the design of manual systems for the bare and gloved hand, such as design and sizing of hand tools, controls, knobs and other applications in different kinds of precision and power grips. The present study was undertaken to gene...
متن کاملThe Firefighter Problem: A Structural Analysis
We consider the complexity of the firefighter problem where a budget of b ≥ 1 firefighters are available at each time step. This problem is proved to be NP-complete even on trees of degree at most three and b = 1 [10] and on trees of bounded degree b+3 for any fixed b ≥ 2 [3]. In this paper, we provide further insight into the complexity landscape of the problem by showing a complexity dichotom...
متن کاملGlove-Based Technology in Hand Rehabilitation
Injuries to the hand are more common than those of any other body region and can have considerable financial, time-measured and psychological impact on not only the victim but the community as a whole. Hand rehabilitation aims to return people to their pre-injury roles and occupations and has proved largely successful in doing so with the potential for technology to improve these results furthe...
متن کاملEvaluation of Hand Grasping by Instrumented Glove
In this paper the evaluation of effectivenes of instrumented glove in measurement of hand opening and preshaping during reach-to-grasp movement is described. In the experiment presented in this work the reach-to-grasp movement of one healthy subject was measured by two different types of motion-tracking devices (3D optical system, Optotrak, and commercial instrumented glove, 14 sensors Ultra Da...
