Types of Grip[edit | edit source]
The hand-wrist represents the most sophisticated tool in the human being. Hand function and strength are important elements in day to day life and participation in sports [1].
1-Power Grip: closing a hand with the thumb in opposition to all other fingers together generates a power grip[2].
A-Lumbrical grip
B-Spherical grip
C-Hammer grip
D-Hook grip

2-Pinch grip: generated by pressing the thumb pulp against the pulp of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers’ distal phalanges[1].
A-Tip Pinch: index pressing against the thumb
B-Tripod Pinch: adding the middle finger
C-Lateral Pinch, also known as key pinch: achieved by pressing the thumb pulp against the lateral aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the index finger. In this grip, the thumb is going into adduction and flexion[2]
