N2  - This research study examined the dexterity performance of both male and female subjects at ambient temperatures of 35°, 55° and 75°F. Subjects wore typical industrial worker apparel without gloves. Four dexterity measurement methods were used. These were 1) Purdue Pegboard, 2) pencil point tapping, 3) an assembly task, and 4) a fine manipulative task. The subject's performance scores at the various tasks were correlated with the ambient temperature and the hand-skin temperature. Results indicate that females scored better than males on the Purdue Pegboard and a fine manipulative task at all temperatures, while males scored better in pencil point tapping and an assembly task.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
