Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD) is a significant problem both in terms of suffering and cost (e.g., health care, lost productivity, workers' compensation, etc.). The demand for ergonomic intervention is likely to increase, especially when planned federal ergonomics standards are enacted. Ergonomists, Human Factors Professionals, Occupational Therapists, and other professionals working in the field of ergonomics need tools to help make their services more effective and affordable. In the proposed work, existing software will be improved and elaborated to provide a set of ergonomic tools for 1) monitoring keyboard, mouse, and application activity; 2) conducting automated on-site work sampling for job analysis and Active Risk Factor Surveillance; 3) conducting automated on-site Active CM Surveillance; 4) serving as a remote input terminal for objective ergonomic and physiological data; and 5) providing appropriate data reduction, analysis, and reporting assistance. In Phase I, software design specifications will be created based in part on feedback from a group of researchers and clinicians active in CTD. Also, an experiment will be conducted to determine the extent that inferences can be made from key input information. Finally, existing software will be expanded and subjected to a limited field test. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The costs associated with Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD) are prompting many organizations to seek help from ergonomics professionals. The proposed ergonomic toolbox will be marketed to such professionals as a research tool and as a clinical tool that can increase their effectiveness, leverage their contact with companies and individuals, and reduce costs.

累积创伤障碍（CTD）都是一个重大问题 苦难和成本（例如，医疗保健，生产力失去，工人的 赔偿等）。 对人体工程学干预的需求可能是 增加，尤其是在计划的联邦人体工程学标准是 制定。 人体工程师，人为因素专业人士，职业 治疗师和其他在人体工程学领域工作的专业人员 需要工具来帮助使他们的服务更有效和负担得起。 在拟议的工作中，现有软件将得到改进和详细说明 为了提供一组符合人体工程学的工具1）监视键盘，鼠标， 和应用活动； 2）进行自动现场工作抽样 用于工作分析和主动危险因素监视； 3）进行 自动现场活动CM监视； 4）用作远程输入 客观人体工程学和生理数据的终端； 5） 提供适当的数据减少，分析和报告 协助。 在第一阶段，将创建软件设计规范 部分基于一群研究人员和临床医生的反馈 活跃在CTD中。 此外，还将进行实验以确定 可以通过关键输入信息进行推论的程度。最后， 现有软件将扩展并受到有限的字段 测试。 拟议的商业应用： 与累积创伤障碍（CTD）相关的成本正在提示 许多组织向人体工程学专业人员寻求帮助。 这 拟议的人体工程学工具箱将向此类专业人员销售 研究工具和作为可以增加其他们的临床工具 有效性，利用他们与公司和个人的联系， 并降低成本。
