RESEARCH PARTICIPATION CONSENT FORM Project Title :- “Electromyography study of different rubber tapper tools” Student Investigator :- Mohammed Sarfraz Ahmed Project Supervisor :- Br. Ibrahim Adham bin Taib

Introduction/Purpose: The objective of this study is to assess the comfort and efficiency of the various rubber tapper tools that are being used today employing the use of the Electromyography. You are being requested to participate in this research study: The participant would represent the rubber tapper worker.  To perform the same procedure of rubber tapping in a laboratory conditions. The purpose of this study : Is to determine whether the tools used by rubber tappers are contributing to any problems of the hand , wrist , and forearm .  To identify which muscles of the forearms are being used during the actual rubber tapping process.  To provide information that may aid in the designing of more ergonomically designed tools for carrying out the rubber tapping process. The Number of people involved in this research : 10 Male and 10 Females randomly selected. Procedures :As a participant of this study you will be requested to come to the physiology lab in the biolabs building on the first floor.
