(Texas A&M University, 1996)A field study was conducted on light fabrication workers who worked 12-hour shifts to determine the effect of a high quality shoe, such as a SAS shoe, on standing fatigue. Nine participants (five male, four female) were ...
-
The effectiveness of floor mats as an intervention for standing fatigue of light fabrication workers (Texas A&M University, 1996)A field study was conducted in a light fabrication plant to determine the effectiveness of floor mats on reducing the symptoms of standing fatigue. Specific physiological variables measured include skin temperature of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1997)An experiment was conducted to determine restrained foot positions that increase hand force exertion capability (HFEC) over that available under the existing restrained foot position utilized by NASA astronauts during Extra ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The primary objective of this study was to determine the preferred 200mm Reticle Standard Mechanical Interface (SMIF) Pod handle when comparing a handle with palmar feedback and a handle without palmar feedback. Objectively, ...
