Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the technical training of nurses, instruction based on a rational explanation while clearly indicating consideration for safety has not yet been implemented. Among the everyday operations performed by nurses, this study focused on motion of opening a glass ampoules. Our objective was to analyze the movements of the left and right upper limb when opening ampoules in order to clarify the mechanism of the ampoule opening operation, as well as causes of injury. As a result, we were able to obtain findings regarding motions that cause injury.
