Table 1.

Mean ± SE lateral (Fx), vertical (Fy), and push/pull force (Fz) during maximum push/pull exertions for the stable and unstable handles (8 subjects’ data pooled; See Figure 2 for illustration of handle stability conditions and force directions)

Stability Fx (N) Fy (N) Fz (N)
Push Stable −1±13 −58±14 −177±29
Unstable 11±4 −4±5 −109±14
Pull Stable −16±9 36±14 243±36
Unstable 0±1 8±3 195±25
