Measurements of Grip Strength Applied to Cylindrical Handles and the Effect of Gloves
This paper introduces a new dynamometer for measuring grip force/strength applied on a cylindrical handle and briefly describes its application to investigate the effect of wearing gloves on grip strength. Sixteen subjects participated in the glove experiment. Six types of gloves were used in the test. Whereas the gloved-hand grip strength applied to cylindrical handles is well correlated with bare-hand grip strength, all gloves reduced the grip strength, especially those designed for isolating hand-transmitted vibration, regardless of the handle sizes (30 and 40 mm in diameter) used in this study.
