Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsability Validation of an Ergonomic Inward Directional Screwdriver for Enhanced Musculoskeletal ComfortPoh Kiat Ng, Bing Sheng Choong, Kian Siong JeePrevious studies suggested that the use of inward torque direction in hand-related manual activities not only increases the total normal force and torque capacity but also reduces grip force. This means lesser effort is required to perform the task, which prevents overexertion and hand injuries. Manual screwdrivers are the most common hand tools used in the industry and daily life. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 27 Oct 2016 · 7,446 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign and Development of an Ergonomic Milling Machine Control Knob using TRIZ PrinciplesPoh Kiat Ng, Kian Siong JeeTRIZ, a Russian abbreviation known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, refers to a methodology for problem-solving rooted in logic and data rather than intuition. It promotes the ability to solve problems creatively. Using TRIZ tools for problem-solving such as the cause-effect-chain analysis and engineering contradiction, a new ergonomic milling machine control knob was developed for improved musculoskeletal comfort. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 7,787 accessesView PDF Cite
