• Description:
  The vibration attenuation performance of conventional and anti-vibration gloves has been widely evaluated using the method outlined in ISO-10819 (1996). Many studies have recongnized several shortcomings of the standardized method, specifically the measurement errors caused by geometric misalignments of the palm-held adaptor, and inter- and intra- subject variability (Griffin, 1997; Hewitt, 1998; Reynolds et al., 1998). Additional errors may also arise from dynamic interactions among the human hand, adaptor, handle and the electro-magnetic vibration exciter. A systematic analysis of error sources could yield alternate improved methods for assessment of anti-vibration potentials of the gloves. [Description provided by NIOSH]
