Abstract
Objective: The evaluation methods of hand fatigue are built and the aim is to provide reference for the numerical human fatigue appraisal. Method 12 females and 14 males in two groups participated in the experiments of changeless force fatigue, which included the grip and pinch and screw, and took part in the nondimensional force fatigue. Result 
Hand fatigue could be full evaluated basing on grip and pinch and screw. 
Using stable force could test the fatigue of manual work simply, but it would be largely affected by the characteristic of sex. 
The nondimensional evaluation can avoid the impact results from the different forces of testees. Conclusion Hand fatigue could be full evaluated basing on grip and pinch and screw. The nondimensional evaluation is a feasible method to research numerical human manual fatigue.
