Grip attitude influences how effectively force is transmitted, how much stabilizing control is available, and how comfortable or fatiguing a task feels.
In practical terms, grip attitude combines elements of grip type (for example, a power grip versus a
Researchers measure grip attitude using motion capture or goniometry to quantify joint angles, along with force
Applications span tool and equipment design, sports training, and rehabilitation. Understanding grip attitude helps tailor handles,
As a concept, grip attitude lacks a universal definition across disciplines, and its relevance varies with
