We developed gas-pressurized elastic sleeves for extravehicular activity (EVA) in the space. In the present study, we examined physiological effects, i.e., cutaneous blood flow and skin temperature, and ergonomical effects i.e., range of motion (ROM) and electromyography (EMG) of the sleeves. The effects were also compared to those of a non-elastic glove, which simulated the current EVA suit used in the U.S.A and Russia, and verified the feasibility of the glove. No significant difference in ROM of the wrist joint was observed between elastic and non-elastic sleeves, but amplitudes of the EMG using elastic sleeves were significantly smaller than that of a non-elastic sleeve. Thus, elastic sleeves can move with less effort, compared to the non-elastic sleeve.
