AHFE Open AccessDesign of strength assistance gloves for female heavy manual workers based on visualization of electromyographic signals
Abstract
In recent years, due to the disappearance of the cumulative effect of fertility, low birth rates, and aging populations, labour shortages have emerged, leading to a social trend of male labour shortages in heavy labour industries, with more women starting to fill the labour gap. By investigating the situation, population characteristics, needs, and work scenarios of female heavy manual workers, user interviews were conducted, and based on the results, the design direction of wearable labour protection equipment was proposed. Based on the collection, analysis, and visualization of electromyographic signals, it is proposed to design intelligent glove products through strength assisted structural design. This product is based on female body characteristics, taking into account the usage habits of workers related to heavy physical work, and has played a role in helping women reduce their physical burden and strengthen safety protection.
