Hand-Handhold Coupling: Effect of Handle Shape, Orientation, and Friction on Breakaway Strength

Objective: The aim was to determine the maximum force that can be exerted on an object before it is pulled or slips from the grasp of the hand (“breakaway strength”) for fixed overhead handholds of varying orientation, shape, and friction. Background: Many studies have quantified hand strength by ha...
