An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the effects of body posture and of different types of common non-powered hand tools on maximum volitional torque exertion capabilities of males and females. Thirty-six males and 14 females applied peak torque in 21 different body postures while using nine different hand tools. The data analysis indicated that, for both males and females, the magnitude of volitional torque is strongly influenced by the type of tool used and the posture assumed. Between the two, however, the effect of hand tool is more profound. The correlation between the tool type and volitional torque was of the order of 0.71. No other variable was as strongly correlated with volitional torque. Maximum volitional torque profiles, as a function of posture and tool type, are provided for males and females.
