Relationship and Mechanisms between Biomechanical Factors and Median Nerve Compression in the Office Workplace

本研究项目第二年的主要目标是研究独立指尖力和正中神经生物力学特性之间的联系。为了做到这一点，我将实验扩展到两个独立的部分。在第一部分中测量指尖力，在第二部分中研究手指屈曲力，这两个部分都提供了对这些力对正中神经的影响的了解。实验的数据收集阶段按预期完成，为了得出指尖力、手指屈曲力与正中神经生物力学特性之间的关系，在第二年完成了两个实验，并对收集到的信息进行了数据分析（从第一年的实验）被接受出版，除了在该项目的第二年所做的工作。这两份手稿都已被接受出版，但只有一份在同行评审期刊上发表。接下来，相关工作也在日本人因学与人机工程学会议上进行了展示。

The primary goal for the second year of this study project was to investigate the connection between independent fingertip force and median nerve biomechanical properties. I expanded the experiment to include two separate parts in order to do this. The fingertip force was measured in the first section, and the finger flexion force was studied in the second, both of which provided insight into the effects of these forces on the median nerve. The trials' data collection phases were finished as expected.In order to make conclusions concerning the relationship between the fingertip force, finger flexion force, and biomechanical characteristics of the median nerve, two experiments in second year were finished, and data analysis was done on the collected information.Two articles (from first year experiments) were accepted for publication, in addition to the work that was done during the second year of the project. Both of these manuscripts have been accepted for publication, however only one of them has been released in a peer-reviewed journal. Next, the relevant work also presented in Japan Human Factors and Ergonomics conference.
