Hand is made up of bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels that can be easily debilitated and injured if the hand tool is not design ergonomically. Recently researchers have examined the effects of individual, environmental and occupational factors on hand grip strength. However, information on the influence of hand tool design on hand grip strength is still lacking. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of factors influencing hand grip strength focusing more towards hand tool design factors. The authors searched the journal articles, book and guidelines from the online databases of Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Pubmed. Fourteen factors includes handle diameter, handle length, handle orientation, handle shape, handle material, handle flange, handle inter distance/grip span, grip method, tool weight, tool center of gravity, tool sharpness, trigger type and size, spring stiffness as well as vibration exposure were found to have significant effect on the hand grip strength. This review identified that the handle diameter is the most significant factor for hand grip strength.

“…The fingers assume a position of sustained flexion that varies in degree with the size, shape, and weight of the object. De et al (2011) reported variations in grip strength with the changes of posture and body joint angles and established an optimal body posture and joint angle for the maximum grip strength for adult Bengalee population. Parvatikar & Mukkannavar (2009) demonstrated that various joint positions can affect grip strength, especially elbow and shoulder joints with respect to wrist positions.…”

This study aimed at determining the grip strength at various angles of shoulder and elbow positions and associate them with discomfort at each point. Method: 60 right handed male subjects aged 20-35 years were taken to measure grip strength at shoulder forward flexion at 0º,45º,90º,135º,180º with elbow at 0º and 90º flexion; discomfort was measured with a VAS scale. Result: scores of grip strength: minimum at 90º elbow and 180º shoulder and maximum at 0º elbow and 180º shoulder. VAS score: the maximum at 0 º elbow and 135 º shoulder and minimum at 0º elbow and 0º shoulder. Conclusion: there exists a relation between grip strength and discomfort.

“…Reliable and valid evaluation of hand strength can provide an objective index of general upper body strength [3]. The grip strength is the result of forceful flexion of all finger joints with the maximum voluntary force that the subject is able to exert under normal conditions.…”

Grip strength has a specific role in ergonomics especially for hand tool using. In ergonomics a hand tool must be designed such a way that provide a better fit for the user, hence it reduces the risk of potential injuries associated with the use of hand tool. Grip strength decreases in repetitive hand activities, and that it will recover after an adequate rest period. This paper presents the relationship between isometric grip strength and recovery in addition to the influence of potential anthropometric factors on grip strength. 20 male and 20 female subject's age range from 20 to 51 years were selected in order to evaluate dominant hand grip strengths. Factors assessed for potential association with grip strength were; demographics such as age and gender; body constructs such as height and weight; upper extremity such as the linear dimensions of elbow to wrist length, hand length and hand breadth. Linear regression analysis was performed in order to identify influencing factors independently associated with grip strength. Pearson product correlation was performed to identify the nature of relationship between isometric grip strength and anthropometric parameters. Through descriptive statistics based on greatest mean grip strength, optimal handle position has been found in position-3 (3.5 cm) for male and position-2 (3.0 cm) for female. Mean grip strength of male has been found greater than female. Grip strengths of male and female in dominant hands are found to decrease with aging, and are significantly different between male and female. Z-test indicates that there are no significant differences on the rate of recovery at each point in time between groups. Linear regression analysis indicates that weight and hand breadth in male; age and weight in female have a significant effect on grip strength.
