The reliability of self-ratings based on Borg's scale for hand-arm vibrations of short duration (Part II)

摘要: Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate manner in which perceptual apparatus body reacts local vibrations. We also wanted reliability self-ratings based on Borg's scale assessment hand-arm vibrations short duration. Thirdly, is ergonomic importance that it demonstrates possibility supplementing objective measuring methods with psychophysical ratings order attain better insight into overall situation worker. investigation shows general coefficients are statistically significant (p ⩽ 0.05) and high: 0.986 for experienced subjects 0.841 inexperienced subjects. This means generally highly reliable evaluation Analyses partial all different amplitudes (range 26–5130 μm) at frequencies 30 Hz, 75 Hz 187 show within sensitive range from 162 μm 2276 (peak-to-peak values) frequency partly Hz.
