Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 68/3 (mai-juin 2014) . - 317-324 Titre : Ergonomic design of a computer mouse for clients with wrist splints Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chien-Hsiou LIU ; Shih-Chen FAN Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : 317-324 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Anthropométrie  Ordinateur  Attelle  Poignet Résumé : OBJECTIVE: We explored effects of cutaneous feedback and hump position on efficiency and comfort in mouse use with a splint. We also analyzed the relationship between anthropometric measurements (width of hand and length of hand, palm, and index) and the task performance. METHOD: Thirty participants performed a computer task with two forms of mice (front hump and rear hump) and two kinds of wrist splints (dorsal and volar). Movement time and satisfaction scores were recorded. RESULTS: No interaction effect (Hump Position * Splint Type) was found on movement time. Movement time was shorter for rear-hump mouse users than for front-hump mouse users. Movement time was also shorter for wearers of dorsal wrist splints than for wearers of volar wrist splints. Limited differences existed in the satisfaction scores. Participants with a longer index finger had shorter movement time. CONCLUSION: Both dorsal wrist splints and rear-hump mice are recommended. Length of index finger positively correlated with task performance.
