Abstract

Persons with severe physical disabilities are becoming part of the industrial workforce in the United States as mandated by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Methods of effective placement and efficient modification of workplaces must be developed if this moral and legal mandate is to be met. This paper describes a system for quantitatively measuring industrially relevant residual motor abilities and a method of efficiently identifying task modification requirements.
