This new combined model uses the advantages of each type of model to overcome the weaknesses of the other. The capabilities of the new integrated model are evaluated in terms of modeling a task scenario with both cognitive and physical components: dr...

Design and ergonomics. Methods for integrating ergonomics at hand tool design stage.

As a marked increase in the number of musculoskeletal disorders was noted in many industrialized countries and more specifically in companies that require the use of hand tools, the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) launched in 1999 a research project on the topic of integrating ergonomics into hand tool design, and more particularly to a design of a boning knife. After a bri...
