Abstract
The use of full-pressure suits for man-in-space activities will result in decrements in manual dexterity and force exertible for the wearer. A first step in the development of techniques to minimize these decrements in future suits is to determine their nature and magnitude in operational versions. The present study is concerned with the development of test procedures for the quantification of some aspects of manual dexterity force output decrements.Keywords
