Power grip strength as a function of tool handle orientation and location

Article Abstract:

A study evaluates the effect of workspace envelope and handle orientation on grip force capacity in commonly used industrial tool configurations. Significant main effects of handle height and reach location on normalized grip force capacity were found with the horizontally oriented pistol grip and right angle handles.
