Task Design and Modification Based on Physical Ability Measurement
本文介绍了可用动作清单(AMI)系统,用于测量人体在手工工业任务中的身体能力,并通过微计算机将得分转化为多种指标,辅助任务修改策略,同时验证了系统的高重测信度。
Appropriate design and modification of industrial tasks must consider the matching of human physical abilities with task requirements. This paper describes the Available Motions Inventory (AMI) as a testing and evaluation system for measuring human physical ability based on components of manual industrial tasks. Using a microcomputer, one can transform the AMI scores (71 for each hand) into raw scores, ability scores, motion class scores, and performance prediction indices. Examples of task modification strategies using the design-oriented scoring of AMI are illustrated. Also, the reliability of the AMI testing system was evaluated using a multivariate canonical correlation analysis. A high test-retest reliability of 0.85 was obtained.
