HAND AND WRIST

HAND AND WRIST

The hand and wrist work in concert to interact with the environment in which they are placed. The index finger works against the thumb for pinch grip; the thumb can press against the side of the flexed index finger for a key-pinch grip; the tips of the thumb, index and middle fingers provide a tripod pinch; all fingers curl for hook grip while the little and ring fingers provide the most power when making a fist. A mobile and stable wrist is required to optimise hand function through maximising range of movement and strength. HAND AND WRIST
