| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purposes of this study was to examine how differences in PPE weight or design affect users’ Range of Motion (ROM) and balance abilities, and to establish the test methods of the present study as suitable for testing mobility with PPE. 10 or eight male volunteers participated in two tests; Series 1: mobility test under non PPE and PPE conditions, and Series 2: mobility test under under five PPE conditions (CON: 0.5kg of training clothing, ST: 8.7kg of protective clothing, TA: ST with 13.1 kg of standard SCBA, TB: ST with 6.9 kg of standard SCBA, and TC: ST with 6.9 kg of improved SCBA). The results showed that ROM and balance ability declined with increased PPE weight. Wearing a heavy SCBA affected mobility, as indicated by increased sway parameters for maintaining body balance, but differences were not significant.
