Abstract

An investigation of limitations and deviation in performance abilities between hand amputee and nonamputee adults was performed by employing MTM system and a specially designed manipulative task. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of amputees as compared to nonamputees determines that MTM motion elements presents an appropriate method for evaluation of impaired workers. A statistical procedure is suggested to exclude the motion element(s) that cause delays in amputee's performance time.
