Force measuring on hand
11 August 2013
The new hand force measuring system from Kistler Instruments has been developed to meet the need to evaluate Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and other occupational health risks.

In addition, the new system may be used to identify and quantify potential risks from handling loads over the course of a working life and for ergonomic and biomechanical load analyses as the basis for solving design, construction or relevant health and safety issues associated with new equipment and/or working practices.
The versatile system is said to be ideal for measuring forces at the man-machine interface in the R&D laboratory, to evaluate the forces required for specific activities for health and safety protection, and for designing and testing machines and systems in the production environment.
