- 1. The Three-Dimensional Hand Force Prediction Model (3DHFPM): A method for predicting maximal and sub-maximal exposure thresholds in the workplace Steven L Fischer, Clark R Dickerson and Richard P Wells University of Waterloo, Canada
- 2. Overexertion occurs when the load, whether lifted, carried, pushed, pulled or otherwise handled, exceeds the limits of the human joint system doing the work1. Overexertion – It is a problem 1Wisha-training.lni.wa.gov/training/presentations/Overexertion.ppt 2Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Ontario, Canada - 2008 1 in 4 lost time claims are related to overexertion2.

Editor's Notes
- Slide Purpose: To illustrate the continued influence of overexertion injuries in the workplace – more than 1 in 4 lost time claims in Ontario is related to overexertion.
- Slide Purpose: To illustrate the how an overexertion injury can occur at a maximal or sub-maximal threshold.
- Slide Purpose: To illustrate the how an overexertion injury can occur at a maximal or sub-maximal threshold.
- Slide Purpose: To discuss the importance of having some predictive ability to understand what can be done in order to determine what should be done. Currently three methods have been published to enable designers / ergonomists to predict hand force capability or at least the influence of certain hand forces (3DSSPP)
- Slide Purpose: To highlight the current interface for the 3DHFPM – focusing on the required inputs and the resultant output capacity
- Slide Purpose: To highlight the key model output features and to elaborate on the potential impact this information could have for a decision maker.
- Slide Purpose: To thank my PhD funding sources
- With a 9 minute talk and 6 minutes for questions I may have an opportunity to respond to questions by presenting some of the evaluation data.
- Slide Purpose: To highlight the predictive capacity of the model using a subset of three participants
- Slide Purpose: To highlight the predictive capacity of the model using a subset of three participants
- Slide Purpose: To demonstrate the difference in COP calculated top-down versus bottom-up using a force plate
