Effect of friction and load on pinch force in a hand transfer task / Linda J. Frederick and Thomas J. Armstrong
Sumario: The effect of friction and load on pinch force was studied in a simple hand transfer task using a repeated measures design and ten men. Results suggest that the use of tool handle friction enhancements may reduce required pinch forces for objects requiring upwards of 50% or more of maximum pinch strenth
