Ottobock Axon-Bus Prosthetic System Instrucciones De Uso página 25

Open palm
In the open palm position, the thumb is positioned all the way out; 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 diamet­
ers 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 fixated with the thumb position closed.
Finger abduction/adduction
By spreading the fingers, a flat, thin object (< 3 mm/< 0.12 inch) can be held
between the fingertips when closing the hand.
