• Journal Article:
  Ergonomics
• Personal Author:
  Seo, Na Jin ; Armstrong, Thomas J.
• Description:
  Statement of Relevance:
  
  Desirable handle features for torque generation may be different from those for grip only. Design of handles per advantageous handle features (e.g., shape, size, surface) may help increase people’s torque strength and contribute to increased physical capacity of people.
