Özet

Purpose Grip analysis systems, with sensors quantifying load distributions and contact areas applied by the hand while grasping objects, are useful for collecting and recording instant data; these systems are popular in hand assessment. The purpose of this study was to determine the load distribution (LD) and contact area (CA) size of the palmar surface of the hand during 4 common grip types used in activities of daily living (standard, lateral, pinch, and tripod grips).
