Effect of grip span on lateral pinch grip strength

HUMAN FACTORS, 44(4), 569–577.

By: C. Shivers n, G. Mirka n & D. Kaber n

MeSH headings : Adult; Anthropometry; Female; Fingers / physiology; Hand Strength / physiology; Humans; Isometric Contraction / physiology; Male; Orientation / physiology; Physical Exertion / physiology; Psychomotor Performance / physiology; Reference Values; Thumb / physiology; Time Factors
TL;DR: A significant effect of lateral pinch grip span is shown, with strength at the maximum functional lateral pinch grips span 40% higher than that found at the smallest lateral pinch Grip span considered. (via Semantic Scholar)
