手套對工作中不同施力型態之影響

The Effect of Gloves on the Different Types of Force Exertions during Work

手套在工業中的應用非常地普遍，戴手套的主要目的是為了保護手部免於外來的傷害；除了保護作用之外，手套亦可能對各種人工作業時的施力造成影響。本文主要的目的乃在於探討戴手套後對各種人工操作施力的影響。結果顯示，對於一些屬於操作手工具或設備的施力型態（參與肌肉較少或以小型肌肉為主要施力來源的施力型態），比如捏力、握力、扭力等，手套較具顯著影響；對於人工物料搬運的施力型態，如提舉力、推／拉力，手套的影響則有限。

Gloves are used widely in different workplaces. Besides protecting hands from injuries, wearing gloves also influence force exertions. The objective of the present paper is to discuss the effect of gloves on different types of force exertions involved in manual operations. The conclusions indicate that wearing gloves affects grip force, pinch force and torque force significantly, but not on lifting and pushing/pulling exertions.
