Active Index

With the thumb opposed Active Index Grip will grasp 
the handle of an object with the middle, ring and little 
fingers and secure the grip with the thumb.  The index 
finger will then close – this may be positioned over the 
lever of the device held such as a spray bottle, it also 
offers the ideal finger position for typing. The index 
finger is under independent user control and may be 
positioned accordingly. To exit Active Index, an open 
signal will fully open the index finger before the other 
fingers and thumb release their grip. 

Precision Closed

This grip can be used in situations similar to the 
Precision Open Grip, but where extended fingers 
would be obstructive, such as working at a desk. 
Initially the middle, ring and little fingers close into the 
palm. The thumb moves to the midpoint of its range 
and pauses. The Index is then active and under user 
control.
(To achieve this grip it is necessary for the thumb to be 
manually repositioned by the practitioner/technician so 
that the thumb only contacts the index finger.)

Precision Open

With the thumb opposed, the index finger meets 
the static thumb allowing the user to pick up and 
manipulate small objects. When this grip is selected 
and a close signal is applied, the thumb closes to the 
midpoint of its range and pauses. The index is then 
active and under user control. The middle, ring and 
little fingers remain extended. (To achieve this grip it is 
necessary for the thumb to be manually repositioned 
by the practitioner/technician so that the thumb only 
contacts the index finger.)

Pinch

The thumb only contacts index finger and is used for 
the fine manipulation of objects. To achieve this grip it 
is necessary for the thumb to be manually repositioned 
by the practitioner/technician so that the thumb only 
contacts the index finger.

The bebionic hand MUST NOT be used to operate a firearm
