Grips
2.5 Non-Opposed - thumb is inline with the palm.
Key
In the non-opposed thumb
position, the four fingers partially
close. The thumb then closes onto
the side of the index finger. The
thumb position may be raised and
lowered without moving the other
four fingers allowing for release,
capture or reposition of the object
being gripped. This pattern is ideal
for carrying paper or letters, using
a spoon and for holding a thin flat
object such as a plate, a credit
card or a key.
Finger Point
With the thumb in the non-
opposed setting, the user can
move to Finger Point position. The
middle, ring, and little fingers close
against the palm and the thumb
moves against the middle finger.
With this grip, typing on a keyboard
or input pad, pressing a bell or a
button can be achieved.
