2.2.5 Gripping component
8E500 Michelangelo Hand
Complex gripping kinematics combined with an anatomical appearance and low weight support
everyday activities. The following gripping options are possible:
Neutral Position
Natural, physiological appearance in the rest position.
Lateral Power Grip
The thumb moves laterally to the index finger; this laterally fixates medium-
sized objects when the thumb is in the half-open position.
Lateral Pinch
The thumb moves laterally to the index finger; this laterally fixates flat objects
when the thumb is in the closed position.
Open Palm
In the Open Palm position the thumb is positioned far to the outside; this
achieves a flat hand position with a completely opened thumb position.
Opposition Power Grip
The opening width makes it possible to hold cylindrical objects with large
diameters and with an open thumb position.
Tripod Pinch
Together with the index finger and the middle finger, the thumb forms a
three-point support; small objects can then be securely fixated with the
thumb in closed position.
