"A small, highly portable data-logging system, including a palm-mounted adapter containing an accelerometer and a force sensor, was developed to record user-specific tool-operating times, hand-transmitted vibration, and palm forces throughout all, or a representative part, of an 8-h workday. The microprocessor-based device has proved to be cost-effective, robust, and flexible and can be applied across a wide range of occupations and occupational settings involving exposures to vibration."
