SET-UP HAND-FINGER DIAGRAM
FLEXION EXERCISES:
1. Gross Grasp - Place fingers in the appropriate gray finger
indentations. For right hand, place index finger on the gray indentation
which is furthest to the right, the rest of the fingers will fall naturally in
place in the gray indentations next to the index finger. Place the thumb
in the gray thumb indentation closest to the index finger. Flex the thumb and all fingers toward
the center of the unit as if making a fist.
2. Hook Position: Starting position as in #1, except use finger tips on
the individual gray finger indentations, the thumb rests naturally in
place on the gray thumb indentation, not on the tip. Keeping finger
tips slightly bent, flex all fingers toward the center of the unit.
3. Key Pinch - Starting position as in #1, except in this exercise the
thumb tip is utilized and the fingers rest naturally in place on the gray
finger indentations. With the tip of the thumb slightly bent, flex the
thumb toward the center of the unit.
4. Trigger Pinch - For right hand, place the index finger on the second
gray finger indentation from the right and place the thumb on the gray
thumb indentation that is most comfortable. Press the index finger
as if squeezing a trigger.
