․ An electromyographic analysis of ‘bend the tool not the wrist’ concept on power tools:

Abstract:

‘Bend the tool not the wrist’ concept is widely used in non-powered hand tools, as unnatural or non- neutral postures are associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Also, deviations from neutral posture diminish the force capacity of human hand, therefore, hand tools which require non-neutral posture also demand greater amount of relative muscular force. Moreover, excessive force requirements are also tied with MSDs. Nowadays the concept of ‘bend the tool not the wrist’ is appreciated among tool designers, however, in some case of some tools, the concept is not easily applied. Use of typical one-piece, straight handle angle grinder might still require the user to apply forces with flexed or deviated wrist. Although there are angle grinders with rotatable handles which could reduce the ergonomic load, anecdotal evidence suggest that the rotatable handle is ncomfortable, unnecessary and adds to the cost of the tools. The aim of this study was to analyze the objective and subjective benefits of a rotatable handle. An angle grinder may be used for grinding or cutting, in order to maintain straight wrist the handle should be rotated by 90 deg.

Three wrist postures were studied: A – handle in grinding position, wrist flexed & ulnar deviated, trigger activated with three fingers; B - handle in grinding position, wrist close to neutral posture, trigger activated with thumb; C – handle in cutting position, wrist neutral or with slight ulnar deviation, trigger activated with three fingers. Ten habitual tool users participated in the study. Subjects were familiarized with the tool and task one day prior experiment. Electromyographic (EMG) activity of m. flexor digitorum superficialis, m. extensor digitorum and m. biceps brachii was chosen as objective measure of work load. A custom build electromyography was used, a 12-bit resolution microcontroller (Smart Projects, Strambino, Italy) was used for A/D conversion and EMG function was added with a 4 channel circuit (Flex Volt, Lebanon, USA).

Bipolar dual Ag/AgCl disposable electrodes (Noraxon, Scottsdale, USA) were used in order to maintain constant inter-electrode distance (2.0 cm). Raw EMG signal was recorded at sampling rate 1 kHz and processed with Matlab software. EMG activities during torque buildup and free running were normalized to EMG activity of maximum voluntary contraction. The results allow to favor wrist postures C & B over

(7)

posture A. EMG activities of m. biceps brachii did not differ between wrist postures. Also it should be noted that EMG activity of m. extensor digitorum was the lowest during the resting phase of posture A (wrist flexion) – therefore, EMG activity does not reflect the subjective comfort.

․ Physical load among auxiliary construction workers and its analysis with objective ergonomics research method:

Abstract:

There is growing number of work related musculoskeletal disorders among workers in construction industry. Employees in construction professions admit physical load and discomfort in various body parts after the work. Accordingly to Eurostat statistical data 60% of total work related diseases are attributed to musculoskeletal disorders in Latvia. The aim of this study was to determine physical load of construction auxiliary workers and bricklayers using objective ergonomics research method HR monitoring and subjective ergonomic risk assessment methods. The research involved full time 8 auxiliary construction workers and 7 bricklayers. Analysis of the heart rate monitoring data proved that objective physical load analysis method is more precise than subjective workload evaluation methods. Results showed that construction workers workload falls into hard and moderate work heaviness category. More experienced workers with longer length of service were subjected to lower work eaviness category.

․ A new elderly clothing design reduce nurse aids’ occupational injury in nursing home：

Abstract:

In the country which is entering aging society, an increasing number of the elderly living in nursing homes. The elderly who live there suffer from different kinds of chronic diseases including degenerative arthritis, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Assisting the elderly dressing is one of the most difficult tasks of nurse aids’ works. During dressing process, regardless of nurse aids or the elderly have spent a lot of time, resulting in a cumulative nurse aid musculoskeletal injuries. Nurse aids assist the elderly to dress under high pressure environment for a long time, they always get work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), non-traumatic soft tissue musculoskeletal disorders, back and shoulder injury owing to inappropriate application of force. Good clothing must design in accordance with the elderly’s shape, make fabric softer, and let the elderly have less movement in joints. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to design a new elderly clothing to reduce the cumulative damage of nurse aids from assisting the elderly dressing effectively. Many aspects need to be considered to uphold the core-concept of elderly and nursing aide-oriented clothing designs to enhance nurse aids’ efficiency and reduce the chance of occupational injury for nurse aids. In this study, we did the related literature review, observed interaction between nurse aids and the elderly during dressing process and learned about the psychological state through interviews. We observed the nursing home under Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital Tainan Branch, Taiwan. We designed two new elderly clothes that can raise nurse aid’s efficiency and reduce injury with two different methods independently, one is Morphological Analysis (design A) and the other is Co-design (design B). Design A uses Velcro to join fabric to reduce the time nurse aids spend on finding cords. Design B is a one-piece cloth which wear from front in order to reduce unnecessary rotate of joint. We conduct a study for testing the dressing time to assess the new elderly clothes with the original clothing. The results showed that either in put on or take off stage, original clothing spent more time than design A and B, furthermore, design B spend less time than design A. By interview nurse aids, we knew design A is much better than the clothing nursing home

(11)

used (original clothing) because of time-saving. But the shortage of Velcro is it will take time to separate them when they stick together. About design B, one-piece really save a lot of time than two-pieces. But it should care more about elderly’s perception, sense of security and exposure, especially for the heavy elderly. The way for wearing design B is much better than others because it replaces extension of humerus with flexion, the elderly only need to raise their hands in the front. In the future, we should care more about psychology when we do elderly clothing design related research.

․ Biomechanical evaluation of patient handling jobs in healthcare: A case study in India：

Abstract:

In the majority of the worksystems in manufacturing organizations, human-machine interactions play key role in ensuring acceptable system performance in today’s industrial context. In many instances of material handling of jobs, human labour remains the principal components contributing to overall performance. Such a condition calls for a structured and scientific ergonomic evaluation of the material handling jobs that the operators perform so that any loading conditions, body motions or postures assumed by the operators remain within the hazardous limits and guidelines set by competitive authorities. Different kinds of injuries (Cumulative Trauma Disorders, Repetitive Motion injuries, Musculoskeletal Disorders, etc.) are possible during material handling, depending upon its requirements. A methodological study has been carried out on the techniques related to the process of collecting data, measuring mechanical work capacity and other parameters, and then assessing the loads and moments on L5/S1 region by applying static, dynamic and special-purpose biomechanical models. The results as obtained clearly show the importance of such a study in biomechanical evaluation of the manual material handling jobs for identification of deficiencies in the design of material handling worksystems in healthcare and possible improved ergonomic design alternatives.

․ Caregiver centered transfer aid designed for home care needs：

Abstract:

In this study, an innovative transfer aid is proposed to respond to home care needs of ageing society.

The fact that longterm care demanders nowadays prefer to live with their families and friends indirectly results in the gradually increasing number of non-professional caregivers. The incidence of work related injuries of amateur caregivers will be higher than professional nurses. Among all of the nursing activities, patient handling (PH) is the most frequently reported injuries. It is not uncommon to see even the professional nurses getting hurt from transferring patients, not to mention the non-trained caregivers. One of the reasons is that they are not familiar with transfer aids, such as when and how to operate proper aids.

Accordingly, the operation of transfer aids for patient handling during home care must be reconsidered and redesigned. Activity theory and Contextual design were adopted in this paper to redesign the caregiver centered transfer aid.

․ Designing jobs that facilitate knowledge sharing: A network perspective：

Abstract:

This paper will present a case study from a population of design engineers in a multinational aerospace organization,based in the UK. The two key aims of the research are: 1. To understand the advice seeking behaviours of these engineers in their social networks, and how these operate in practice. 2. To spell out the implications of these behaviours, for individuals, organizations and for theories of job design. Seeking and sharing advice is a crucial part of knowledge sharing, which is vital in many 21st century organizations, and in particular engineering organizations. This paper will present data collected from a sample of design engineers, using a mixed-method approach. This will include: data from a social network questionnaire (n=160) capturing job crafting behaviours and social networks; interviews with a cross-section of questionnaire respondents (n=16); and follow-up questionnaire data on subsequent career progression (n=67). Finally, the paper will draw on these findings to propose a theoretical framework which will consider more broadly what we might expect ‘social’ job design to mean and deliver.

․ Microbiological digital analysis of hospital tissue coatings in high traffic hospital：

Abstract:

Nosocomial infections, also called nosocomial infections related to health care (IRAS), are defined as infections acquired by patients during treatment in health institutions, having its origin from the time of admission. These infections are the cause of many deaths, economic losses and structuring problems in health institutions. In Brazil, such infections are serious problems with rates of up to 40% mortality. In order to contribute with products that can somehow help prevent hospital infections, the Brazilian company Cavaletti S / A chair manufacturer of office investigated the presence of bacteria and fungi on their coats to seat used in a high-traffic hospital. In partnership a hospital located in southern Brazil were analyzed four models arranged seat coating three places of high movement of people, "center diagnostic and image," "ER"

and "laboratory". During the 30 day period, there were four collections are two previous and two subsequent cleaning cleaning. To verify that the difference found in the amount of bacteria, is statistically significant before and after cleaning was performed chi-square test. We found no statistically significant correlation between bacteria concentration in tissues and environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and

․ Augmented reality based social stories training system for promoting the social skills of adolescents with autism：

Abstract:

Profound social reciprocity deficits are a core feature of the autism spectrum disorders. Children with autism often lack appropriate social skills when they need to interact with other people. A social stories training is one type of children-specific intervention for teaching social skills. It helps learn social skills through combination of visual and verbal cues. We use augmented reality (AR) technologies to visually conceptualize the social stories. Interactive social stories are played using several tangible markers and AR technologies that overlays the markers with corresponding virtual images. The new way to interpret social stories demonstrates an improvement of attraction and enhances effects of social skills training. Finally, We have a prototype for the social skill – “greeting” and an initial pilot study to support the therapy of high- functioning autism children.

․ The app game interface design for frozen shoulder rehabilitation：

Abstract:

This paper aims to develop an appropriate game interface design for frozen shoulder rehabilitation.

The main treatment of frozen shoulder involves diagnose of doctor and proper rehabilitative exercise to break up adhesion and improve the joint mobility and functions. It leads to a problem that whether to do the exercise after the treatments of doctor is all depends on the patient’s motivation and often not execute.

To address this, we construct an app game design which can be easily used by mobile platforms in order to enhance the motivations of patients to keep doing regular rehabilitation at home and the results can be uploaded into server for screening by doctor. The prototyping of this game design are conducted and several users are invited into the evaluation process to revise the game design.

․ Interaction of haptics, acoustics, and optics in the perception of rotatory control devices：

Abstract:

Due to a new focus on holistic design and the development of new control devices in cars not only optical features but also haptic and acoustic factors are becoming more important. However, it is necessary to clarify if haptics, acoustics and backlights ofcontrols (optics) are independent factors and can thus be developed separately or if there are interactions between the perceptions of those three modalities. Thus, two independent studies were conducted. The first study investigated the interaction between haptics, acoustics and backlights of controls. Since backlight is not always present while a vehicle is being driven (e.g. insolation during daytime), a second study with a more detailed variation of acoustic and haptic parameters was conducted, omitting optics as a factor.

․ Conducting a prospective review for enhanced interface features for unmanned ground vehicle operation：

Abstract:

Improvements to a recently developed user interface for operation of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) were evaluated by members of the research team using established methods for evaluating human error and user acceptance. The four enhanced interface features were all designed to improve operator awareness of the potential for collisions with environment features, in comparison to the video-only information generally available. Distinct enhancements were developed, based on established human-robot interaction literature, and evaluated by research team members individually. Distance indicator bars (1) were added to the upper left and right corners to provide color-coded cues to relative distance from objects in the environment. Virtual flippers (2) were added to the lower portion of the video feed to remind operators of the flippers’ presence on the UGV platform. Distance guidelines (3), similar to those used in some rear- view cameras in the automotive industry, were added as an overlay to the standard video feed. A virtual path (4) was overlaid over the video, including an optimal path and an alignment indicator.

․ Physiological responses related to visual impressions of a product: Evaluating automobile interior design：

Abstract:

Background Design evaluation of cars includes not only functional aspects such as safety and run characteristics but also a psychological aspect of the user, including the comfort in the car and the joy of owning it. Thus, appearance plays a major role. During the design process, manufacturers suggest various concepts (“ecological,” “luxurious,” etc.) according to needs of target users and today’s society, make multiple plans embodying them, and reach the final plan. During this evaluation, it is essential to determine whether users appreciate concepts intended by designers from the appearance of the embodied product.

However, the evaluation of a delicate psychological factor such as “impression” depends on the user’s

(18)

subjective method (e.g., seven-method questionnaire), and there is no objective method to detect and quantify it. We aimed to establish a method to objectively detect the impression of appearance.

․ Design requirements to reduce discomfort in window viewing: Study on increasing degrees of freedom of car-body shape：

Abstract:

Background & Objectives In designing a product or service, the user experience (UX) has recently gained increasing importance and diversity. For cars, much of the UX relates to safety and comfort, so cars that meet such UX standards are required by customers. For the driver, UX elements include easy decision- making while driving and the ability to drive as wanted. Meanwhile, for the rear-seat passenger, the optimal UX includes decreased possibility of motion sickness and seat comfort. In this study, the UX element of decreasing the possibility of motion sickness for rear-seat passengers is discussed with respect to the designs of cars that meet this criterion. Motion sickness is caused by differences among information from the vestibular, visual, and bodily senses. Information from eyesight is thought to be affected by window curvature and blurring of sight. To design a product or service meeting a variety of UX criteria, higher degrees of freedom for the body shape provide more ease in designing a good product or service.

․ Acceptable physical attributes of wearable computing devices, based on human factors：

Abstract:

In addition to the functionality, wearing ease is also an important element for joint protective garment design. Besides, clothing fit is one of the important factors controlling the wearing ease. However, previous research in this area has been neither sufficient nor systematic. As elbow joint is one of the most strained joint of the body, the skin surface around it also has significant length change. Therefore, in this research an attempt has been made to analyze and quantify the length variations of skin surface around the elbow joint, and arrange a stretchable mesostucture on the base of these variations. 3D printing with its advantages of rapid manufacturing and design complexity than traditional textile industry, it is the method used for making the prototype in this study. Finally, an application for elbow brace design of the research results is suggested.

Within the BUNDSCHUH-project granted by the German Ministry of Education and Research it is one aim to develop a new information interface for elderly. This interface should be applicable in shoes or soles. Over this interface users will give hints for their orientation and navigation. This will get a great benefit esp. for elder people with beginning dementia in new environments. This will happen when elder people have to leave their own living environments due to several pathological problems (dementia, typical geriatric diseases with need of permanent care). In order to get best results and acceptance and due to the knowledge from past projects we integrated the potential users from the first stage of development into each phase of the process. For this we made huge amount of group interviews as well as tests within their personal environment (in their own homes and in home care facilities). To know the type, amount and code of vibrational information given to a foot sole is necessary for a successful design and high level of user acceptance.

․ Systematic pattern code design on kitchenware for operable activities in tangible user interface：

Abstract:

In order to improve the convenience and entertaining of human lives, smart families are the representatives of extensive application of this technology. This research has developed a new way of operation using pattern codes to operate the tangible interface of kitchenware for a smart family environment. This new development controls products such as stereos and light switches using different utensil gestures. The pattern codes are required to be both recognizable by programs and to communicate the suggestions of operation to users. During the evaluation stage, the program recognizable rate tests and the subjective evaluation questionnaires were conducted respectively in order to evaluate the possibility of implementation of our pattern codes in tangible user interface.

4-3 心得與建議事項

本次會場中見到了各國學者發表了許多相關研究，透過學術交流會議在第一時間了解到整個世界的發展趨勢，在會議討論的過程中也讓學生得到許多收穫。對於學生來說，此次出國是學生第二次遠赴美國參加國際研討會，然而能有如此有幸獲得補助，學生對學校深感萬分感激。此次出國除了在學生的學習路程中添加一筆特殊的經歷之外，更重要是可以藉由參與國際研討會以分享彼此研究成果與經驗上的交流，了解到各國各相關領域的研究者創新與技術的發展、了解到國際未來的研究趨勢和有關人因工程上許多重要研究議題方向等等…，以獲得相關領域的最佳解決方案。藉由聆聽論文發表與討論更能激發出不同的想法與研究方向。深覺到參與此類的國際性的會議是拓展國際視野的最好方式，也讓台灣能在國際地位上逐漸嶄露頭角。參與此次盛大會議後，學生深感本國參與之學者無論在研究的技術創新，或是對於國際市場敏銳度皆與各國並駕齊驅。很高興學校將提升學生英語能力視為教學主軸，並且學校在經費許可下提供搭配國內其他單位的補助計畫項目，如此一來不僅能讓學生減輕出國時需要面對費用問題之壓力負擔，更能增進前往參與國際學術交流的意願，除了能增見聞外還可學習到國際發展趨勢之訊息，對於台灣研究能力的發展更為提升不少，而對於學生本身的外語交談更奠定穩固基礎。因此面對來自於不同國家的學者教授與研究代表們，學生心情上有興奮也有點擔憂的感覺，期望自己能不負學校之名，全力以赴。此外，透過這次的研討會，讓學生了解外語能力與專業知識對於研究工作的重要性，外語能力是像我們這種非英語系國家所長久以來存在的一大挑戰，面對以英語為母語的使用者，聽說能力的確有待加強，更遑論那些非英語系來的代表們所說的英語，著實很難馬上理解他們的意思。由於在人因工程研究領域範圍非常廣泛，也唯有持續加強專業知識，或者是找尋自己有興趣的地方自我學習與成長。

透過參與國際研討會讓我們看到世界各地的學者研究生們，在自己的研究領域上的付出與努力，或許哪天有新的概念與研究產出時可以在國際上，讓世界看到台灣的研究能力原來是那麼的可觀。在國際間所舉辦的研討會對於各個國家的研究專家學者發表研究室一個很好的機會，但由於大都舉辦在較為遠程的歐美國家地區，主辦單位也通常會挑選在國外的高級飯店（有支援餐點以及住

宿等），也因此費用上通常是高的嚇人，對於現階段還是學生身分來說，無疑是一筆非常可觀的開

銷，即便是工作之後再進修研讀博士班的研究生，仍然會很擔心突如其來的這麼一大筆開銷。目前國內大學院校為了在國際學術上取得較高的能見度，會提供經費補助來促使在校研究生積極參與國際研討會，然而在補助經費上也有限或不足額，也因為這樣會造成研究生不敢輕易前往。仰賴成功大學的「頂尖大學計畫」的補助，在出國相關經費上給予學生大力支持遠赴美國地區發表論文，

這對於校內各個研究者的學術成就及經驗，以及相度提高「成功大學」在國際間的能見度是一種非常很好的政策。
