Hello researchers,
I would like to know about various researches happening around the world to determine maximum torque that can be exerted by human hands to rotate a hand wheel.
The result of one such research is provided in the link below:
Any update on same type of research is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I suggest you look at:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/245095718_Effects_of_wheel_design_on_the_torques_applied_to_large_hand_wheels
Also, Rich Marklin and colleagues at Marquette did some research on the topic.
Article Effects of wheel design on the torques applied to large hand wheels
Some informations in these publications.
Maximum torques vary between surfaces and wheelchair type.
