The research studied about the influence of work postures and handle interface factors on two-handed manual ability. The handle interface factors focus on the material of gloves. The work postures contains stand and sit. And analysis the influence of gender, ponderal index and the habit of sport. According to the research framework being referred and sample of students study in Tunghai University, this investigation was taken by using the equipments which include the wrist coordination produced by TOTO physical company. Then the analysis of data was processed with SAS/PC. ANOVA, GLM, Duncan's multiple-range test and correlation analysis have been used in this study. For influence on the wrist coordinate operation, the difference of handle interface factors, gender and ponderal index was significant.
