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 (See section 2.3).
