The effect of hand dominance on manual arm strength
… both limbs in the workplace, the effect of hand dominance on any type of upper extremity strength is relatively underexplored. In several ergonomics models of strength capacity, the non-dominant hand is assumed to be approximately 10% weaker than the dominant hand, but this heuristic is …

Effect of Hand Dominance on Rate of Learning and Bilateral Transfer.
… generally have a dominant and a nondominant hand. Dominance refers to the ability to perform a task better with a particular hand [Hand preference does not necessarily mean hand dominance] (Rigal, 1974). For example, a child may show tendencies to be left hand dominant; however, his parents …

Left-handed BCI - examining effects of handedness and hand dominance on EEG grasp classification
… (EMG) data, to be capable of classifying fine hand movements with a high degree of accuracy, providing avenues for the design of highly attenuated prosthetic limbs. Studies which have examined such uses for BCIs, however, seldom examine the effects of handedness, as well as off-hand or …

Strength Capabilities and Subjective Limits for Repetitive Manual Insertion Tasks
… collected from a student population to assess hand dominance effects, and 4) strength data obtained was compared with a strength prediction model to determine if the model could predict manual insertion forces. The traditional method of psychophysical data collection requires participants to …

Ergonomics Analysis of Touchscreen Utilization as a Function of Preferred Hand and Gender
… pad by her/his preferred versus non-preferred hand. A randomized, between-subject experiment was designed and tested using five independent two-way ANOVAs. Each ANOVA tested a different type of touchscreen interaction; button clicking, dragging and typing, with typing further broken down into …

Tissue-specific behavioural signatures in cortical and trabecular bone. Variations in long bone structure in medieval Britain, and the differential effects of age.
… of bone quality, no relationship between hand dominance in either tissue was observed. Despite these discrepancies in behavioural signatures, correlations in structural parameters were as strong as those observed for the lower limb, regardless of whether ipsilateral or contralateral values …
