FULL CIRCLE ERGONOMIC AUXILIARY TOOL HANDLE

FULL CIRCLE SYSTEMS HAS DEVELOPED A NEW DESIGN FOR TOOL HANDLES. THE NEW DESIGN ALLOWS THE USER TO HOLD THE HANDS PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION OF THE PULL, WITH THE POINT OF CONTACT BEING SPREAD OVER A LARGE AREA OF THE PALM. THE WRISTS ARE STRAIGHT; BOTH ARMS CAN BE HELD LOW; AND THE BACK REMAINS STRAIGHT. USE OF THIS HANDLE WILL REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF BLISTERS, CALLOUSES, CRAMPED MUSCLES, SORE BACKS, AND CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS. IT MAY PREVENTDISORDERS SUCH AS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME; AND IT MAY ALLOW PATIENTS WITH DISORDERS, SUCH AS ARTHRITIS OR DIMINISHED GRIP, TO USE TOOLS MORE COMFORTABLY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO ANSWER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE DETAILS OF THE HANDLE DESIGN. THIS RESEARCH WILL ENSURE THAT THE NEW TOOL HANDLE MAXIMIZES ITS BENEFIT TO A VARIETY OF USERS. THE RESEARCH ENTAILS TWO TYPES OF TESTS. IN LABORATORY TESTS, MEASUREMENTS OF IEMG AND HEART RATE WILL BE TAKEN WHILE SUBJECTS USE THE HANDLES IN SIMULATED WORK ENVIRONMENTS. IN A SECOND SET OF TESTS, SUBJECTS WILL USE THE HANDLES IN THEIR REAL WORK ENVIRONMENT. FULL CIRCLE SYSTEMS HAS DEVELOPED A NEW DESIGN FOR TOOL HANDLES.
