摘要：

The object of this study was to measure the mechanical characteristics of several commonly used adapted switches in order to demonstrate the feasibility of collecting quantitative descriptions of switch performance. A stepping motor was used to drive a digital micrometer vertically towards the tested switch and proving-ring strain gauges recorded the operating force. Measures of activation and deactivation forces, travel and switch compliance were compared; several clinical examples illustrate the functional application of these results. It is anticipated that this information will permit clinicians to prescribe switches in a more accurate manner. © 1990.
