Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Influence of some handle designs and handle height on the strength of the horizontal pulling action

Notes: Sumario: The purpose of the present study was to illustrate the effect of the hand-object interface on the ability of a person to exert forces in different postures. Subjects performed one handed maximal pulling exertions on four different handles, placed 1.0 m and 1.75 m above the ground. The stregth of manual exertion was significantly affected by handle type and handle placement. Analysis of variance also indicated a significant interaction between handle type and handle positionRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 2, February 1992 ; p. 203-212Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Extremidades superiores Postura Fuerza muscular Diseño de productos Otros autores: Grieve, Donald W.
