Q

What is this describing?

  1. the part of the hand/fingers used in the grasping pattern: ulnar grasp to palmar grasp to radial grasp
  2. location of the object on the hand surface: palmar contact to finger surface contact to finger pad contact
  3. the muscle activity used in grasp: use of long finger flexors to increasing control of intrinsic muscles with extrinsic muscles
A

Progression of grasp development

24
Q

25
Q

ex. moving coin from palm of hand to finger before inserting coin into vending machine

A

palm-to-finger translation

26
Q
