Abstract

Grip strength is the force applied by the hand to grip objects and is a specific part of hand strength. It is generally considered that all aspects of the hand must be exercised to produce healthy and strong hand. Repetitive usage of hand will cause an imbalance between closing and opening muscles, and can lead to problem such as white finger syndrome. The purpose of this study is to analyze the hand press grip force and muscle fatigue at the left and right activity on hand among the workers in automotive industry while workers perform their task. The method for this project has been through the interview, observation, questionnaire regarding the worker discomfort experience, experiment using Tekscan equipment and software form measure the hand grip force and pressure distribution area and measure on vibration at the hand using hand arm vibration. All the result above can be used to determine the significant factor for the effect between the hand tool vibration, handgrip force and pressure distribution area. The finding shows the factors on duration of hand tool vibration, handgrip force and pressure distribution force can give effect to worker performance.
