Captions:

An Extra-Vehicular Activity or "EVA", also called "space walk", means doing work outside the spacecraft.

The bulky suit makes movement awkward, but a trained astronaut has little difficulty moving along a properly designed path.

However, limb mobility and manual dexterity are greatly restricted and planning for EVA jobs requires meticulous care.

Making provision for the proper equipment, tools and restraints requires careful analysis of each and every task.

Complex task require elaborate pre-flight training in water tanks.
