Maximum isometric finger pull forces

摘要: Abstract The current study determined the maximal voluntary isometric forces for a variety of finger pulling tasks. Twenty healthy females, with no history upper extremity injuries, were asked to use fingers from their dominant hands and apply pull seven conditions that varied in number fingers, force application location interface characteristics. All tested without glove. However, there was significant effect wearing As expected, maximum increased used decreased when applied on tip instead first distal inter-phalangeal joint. Maximum ranged 59.5 ± 21.4 N using index thin ring, 268.7 ± 77.2 N all four straight bar. Relevance industry Many industrial tasks require finger(s). provides set values can be limits will contribute protecting worker health safety insuring manufacturing quality.
