Kayser Italia Srl
Livorno, Italy

The company is active in design and development of systems and subsystems for Life Science Space Research. In particular, a Hand Grip and Pinch Force Dynamometer (HGD/PFD) for the isometric measure of hand and finger forces of astronauts during space activities, has been produced under ESA contract for the NASA Human Research Facility. An instrument on Hand Posture Analysis (HPA) has been designed and manufactured for the Italian Space Agency (ASI), which will include an instrumented Glove with 15 degrees of freedom, for Upper Limb Postural Analysis. The payload will fly on the International Space Station and used for 3 months starting from September 2003. Three protocols will be tested on grasping, launch of a virtual ball, and isometric force.
