Development of a new dynamometer for measuring grip strength applied on a cylindrical handle

Effects of grip type and wrist posture on forearm EMG activity, endurance time and movement accuracy

“…Power Grip Type: Wimer et al (2009) found no reliable correlation between the mean grip strength of two different types of power grasp (cylindrical vs. hook grip). This experiment involved use of only a cylindrical power grip, and as such, the findings of the study are limited to this type of power grip type.…”

The efforts in the forearm during the use of anti-vibration gloves in simulated work tasks

“…A cylindrical (4.4 cm diameter) grip dynamometer comprised of two aluminium pieces separated by two force transducers was used by Larivière et al (2004Larivière et al ( , 2010 in the evaluation of grip forces associated with the use of gloves. Wimer et al (2009Wimer et al ( , 2010 suggested that grip strength measured with the Jamar handle may not be reliable when applied to the design and risk assessment of some tools or machines with cylindrical handles. Contrastingly, it was proved that the cylindrical handle can determine the overall grip strength for a subject and show the distribution of grip force around the circumference of the handle.…”

Effects of Gloves on the Grip Strength Applied to Cylindrical Handles

“…The 30 mm handle was comprised of an aluminum cylinder equipped with a Tekscan pressure mat 1 . The 40 mm handle was a six-piece handle developed in an earlier study 2 , which measured the contact force by means of shear strain gauges installed on each of the six arms. As shown in Fig.…”
