Title: A System for evaluating the effect of keyboard design on force, posture, comfort, and productivity / Paul Smutz, Elaine Serina, and David RempelAuthor: Smutz, Paul
Notes: Sumario: The purpose of this study was develop a system to determine the effectiveness of an alternative keyboard design which aimed to reduce fingertip force and awkward wrist postures. A prototype alphanumeric keyboard, adjustable in four ways, was developed for this study. Four measurements were chosen to determine the effectiveness of each keyboard configuration: fingertip impact force; wrist position; productivity; and comfort and ease of useRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 10, October 1994 ; p. 1649-1660Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Telecomunicaciones Condiciones de trabajo Pantallas de visualización de datos Terminales informáticos Postura Sistema hombre-máquina Microtraumatismos repetitivos Productividad Métodos de evaluación Otros autores: Serina, Elaine
