Popis: To assessment the hand stress of production employees, ergonomists often use the methodology for determination the job strain index. The determination of the job strain index is based on the estimation of six strain variables. An incorrect estimation of strain variables can impair the health of production employee or the company needs to improve the production process. To avoid such inaccurate estimates, is the aim of this work, a developing of a system to measure the six strain variables and to evaluate the stress of the hand objectively. The work starts with a research of sensor gloves that have already been applied for the hand. Subsequently a first system is being developed systematically and demonstrated on a process example. This enables the measurement of all strain variables. The results show that the evaluation of the process and product ergonomics is faster and more accurately.
