• Description:
  Vibration-reducing (VR) gloves have been increasingly used to reduce hand-transmitted vibration but it remains unclear how much these gloves can reduce the exposure. To help answer this question, the objective of this study is to apply an approximate method to estimate the tool-specific effectiveness of the gloves for reducing the vibrations transmitted to the palm of the hand in three orthogonal directions (3-D).
