The Development and validadtion of equations to predict grip force in the workplace : contributions of muscle activity and posture / Peter J. Keir and Jeremy P.M. Mogk

This study presents detailed measurements of the hand forces which predict the grip force on the workplace. A family of equations was developed, and validated, for the prediction of grip force using forearm electromyography as well as posture of the wrist and forearm
