The Shuttle/ISS EMU was designed back in 1976 (with the bid being granted in 1974). While the "enhanced" version was introduced in the 90s, the core architecture of the suit remained the same. The gloves also saw a lot of iterations over the years. I'd like to know which phase of glove caused astronauts the most injury.

Well, NASA was working on a next generation EMU since the 80s originally called the Mark III suit. That design has evolved so many times since then and tldr it was handed off to Axiom Aerospace to be completed (which they did). Will the AxEMU fix the problems of the STS EMU? Maybe.
