		The TPU according to the invention has the advan- tage of allowing a gripping hand to activate the enabling device irrespective of where on the enabling device the grip is being made.
		The handle comprising the gripping surface 8 is shaped to allow the TPU to be gripped with a right hand 9a or a left hand 9b and is carried resting against the lower arm (schematically shown in Figures 5 and 6) belonging to the gripping hand.
		The TPU is in a second operating position B and the gripping hand 9b activates a second function control 7b while at the same time the hand activates a third function control 7c with the thumb 16.

	Evaluation of an instrumented glove for hand-movement acquisition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The female and the male group had comparable hand size ("small" and "medium" corresponded to hand size 7 to 7 1/2 and 7 1/2 to 8, respectively; the sizes are defined as the length of a hand, from the distal wrist flexion crease to the tip of the middle finger and are measured in inches).
		The subject was asked to put her or his hand flat on the tabletop for 6 s, with the wrist fixed in a neutral position and the forearm pronated.
		To achieve repeatability of the subject's wrist and hand-joint positions in the "flat phase," we drew the subject's hand (maximum extension of the hand, all hand joints and elbow touching the table, and thumb abducted at 37°) and forearm (in pronated position) profiles on the tabletop where the experiments were performed.

	Support device for strengthening the hand gripping of racquet handles and other shaft members - Patent 4277063
		If, on the other hand, it is desired to accommodate hands of different sizes or gloved hands in cold weather, the securing means will preferably comprise a plurality of fastener means spaced longitudinally of the device and co-acting with interengaging means on the end of said shaft or hand grip.
		This broad engagement with the back of the hand, coupled with the tensioning in the band portion 15 as the aperture 13 is engaged with the hand grip member 16, provides a unique support of the hand grip member 16 against twisting in the hand.
		The ability to thus adjust, and maintain adjustment of, the rotary orientation of hand grip member 16 with respect to the hand is particularly advantageous to the players of tennis and other racquet games where proper orientation of the racquet is of prime significance.

	Gripping hand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the science fiction novels The Mote in God's Eye and The Gripping Hand by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, the gripping hand is literally the strongest of the three asymmetrical arms of the aliens called "Moties".
		Figuratively, it was typically used when presenting a third choice or fact after two others, usually after the second had been presented with the phrase "on the other hand...".
		An alternate method uses "On the gripping hand" to present a stronger or more compelling option, point, or fact than the previous two.

		The case 12 has a curved convex surface 14 which is preferably configured to substantially fit against a palm of a hand gripping the device and a curved button mounting surface 16 (also referred to as a control button mounting surface) positioned generally opposite to the curved surface 14.
		This position of the case is also ideal for grasping the device with a hand in the palm-down position, and for lifting the device to hold and use it in space, or to simply grip the device and use it while on a supporting surface.
		The generally arched configuration of the case fits in the grip of a right or left hand with the fingers positioned within the finger indentations 318, and the thumb is cradled between the thumb support flanges 329 which protrude from the curved surface 14 to form a laterally concave, saddle-shaped support surface for a thumb.

		If you have really small hands, you might have to be a bit more creative to get a solid starting position, such as taking the initial starting position with your pinky extended, and only wrapping it on the handle as you pull into the range where it will comfortably fit on the handle.
		Any contact between the non-gripping hand and the gripper as the card is being removed will invalidate the attempt, and the non-gripping hand must stay at least a foot from the gripping hand at all times during the squeeze.
		Similarly, nothing may be in contact with the gripping hand or the gripping arm from the elbow down (for example, the free hand is not allowed to steady the wrist of the gripping hand or hold the spring, etc.).

		As stated earlier, it is essential to keep the bow hand as relaxed as possible during and after the shot.
		A bow hand that grips the bow firmly will tend to move more during the shot than a relaxed hand because of the required extra muscle control.
		On the other hand, if you force your hand to be open by stretching fingers, this also will mean that more muscle control is necessary.

		Size of hand tool — Employees must use more force to operate tools that do not have good weight distribution because they cannot hold the tool at the center of gravity.
		Tools with squeeze triggers, such as scissors and staple guns, may require employees to apply a lot of muscle contraction in the hand and fingers, especially if the object to be cut is thick or dense.
		Where all the force to squeeze the activation trigger must be generated by one finger, the tendons may be overused to the point where fluid builds up, making it difficult to bend the finger to squeeze the tool.

	Get Outdoors - Mountaineering Basics: Applying Friction: Breaking Hand
		Except for one device (the Grigri, discussed later), the braking hand produces the initial force by the friction of the belayer's hand gripping the rope.
		The average amount of force that can be exerted by a person's grip is probably something under 50 lbs., whether the rope is running through the hand or being held statically.
		Bare hands can generally exert more force than gloved hands, though the texture and thickness of the glove probably make a difference (thinner and rougher is stronger).
