Stages of Grip
- opening of the hand- simultaneous action of the intrinsic muscles of the hand and the long extensor muscles
- positioning and closing the fingers and thumb to grasp the object and adapt to its shape (intrinsic and extrinsic flexor and opposition muscles)
- exerted force (varies depending on weight, surface characteristics, fragility, use of the object) involving the extrinsic and intrinsic flexor and opposition muscles
- release, in which the hand opens to let go of the object- action of intrinsic muscles and long extensor muscles
