Some Thoughts from Andrea
![Page 2: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Common Causes of
Limitations in the Use of the Hands:
Age and Arthritis
Loss of Strength and Dexterity in the Hands is Common,
beginning at Age 50 – 59, and increasing in severity with
more advanced age.
With Age – Loss of strength in muscle tissue throughout
body, including the hands.
Prevalence of severe hand disability in the general
population age 50 and older is 12%, with increased
occurrence over the age of 70 and in the female gender.
Arthritis – The leading cause of disability in the United
States (Centers for Disease Control)
![Page 3: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Age – Loss of Strength and
Dexterity
In Hand Weakness due to
Age, the Lateral Pinch Grip
weakens less than other
pinch grips.
Lateral Pinch Grip –
Example: Grip Used when
Grasping and Turning a Key.
Design to accommodate the
Lateral Pinch Grip by
making a larger contact
area for the fingers.

Osteoarthritis (OA) – caused by wear and tear
leading to deterioration of cartilage in the joints
Commonly Affected by OA:
•Distal Finger Joints
•Base of Thumb
Finger Joints Less Commonly
Affected by OA:
Middle Joints (Proximal
Interphalangeal Joints) (35%
of individuals with OA)
Base of Fingers –
(Matacarpophalangeal
Joints) (15% of individuals
with OA)
![Page 5: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Osteoarthritis
Friction (due to cartilage deterioration) results in:
Pain
Stiffness
Swelling
Reduced Range of Motion
Pieces of Bone may break off and float within the joint
and the joint lining (synovium) and cause further
inflammation.
![Page 6: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Unknown
Cause - Autoimmune Disease
Commonly Affects Wrist and Fingers
• Cartilage Deterioration
• Deformation of Joints
Unlike OA, Finger Joints closest to the palm of the hand (Metacarpophalangeal Joints) are commonly affected.
Phasic
o Severity Up and Down
Pain
Inflammation
Swelling
Stiffness
Reduced Range of Motion
![Page 7: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Examples of Accommodations for OA & RA
Distal Finger Joints are used in most
Pinch and Precision Grips.
o A small pinch or other precision grip will often cause pain in the
distal finger joints with Osteoarthritis.
Make grip larger or change type of grip.
The Thumb is used in All Grip Types.
o A too wide grip will often cause pain in an arthritic joint at the
base of the thumb
Maximum Grip Span for OA (Osteoarthritis) and RA (Rheumatoid
Arthritis) of moderate severity is not more than 2.5 to 3 inches.

Accommodation Examples - Continued:
Rheumatoid Arthritis – Joint Deformation
o Joint Deformation affects the types of grips
that can be made.
Example of Accommodation:
Instead of using a pinch grip, a person with
deformed finger joints may have to instead use
a lateral key pinch grip.

Lateral Key Pinch Grip
ie: Grip Used When Grasping and Turning a Key
![Page 10: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of Hand Grasps There is no one standard classification of grasps.
Names for specific grasps can vary.
The following slides show examples of grasp
classifications.
![Page 11: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Napier (1956)
Prehensile – Where an object is held by the hand
Power Grasp – Where an object is held in the palm of the hand
The forces of the thumb are opposed by the forces of the fingers
Muscular force is often high in the power grasp
Precision Grasp – Where an object is held between the
opposing fingers and thumb
Muscular force is usually more limited in the Precision grasp than in
the Power Grasp
Non-Prehensile – No seizing – The hand or finger applies pressure to an
object
![Page 12: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The following Three Slides 10 hand grasps Classified by Karl Kroemer
(1986)
Coupling the Hand with the Handle

Prehensile Grasps
Ayoub, MacKenaie, Deivanayagam, Smith, Kroemer, Napier,
Ladsmeern
Hand Grasp / Power Grasp
Spherical Grasp – Spherical object in Hand
ie: Door Knob, Baseball
Cylindrical Grasp – Around circumference of a
cylindrical object
ie: Hammer Handle
Disc Grasp – Used on a disc shaped object
ie: Lid of Jar
Hook Grasp – Handle is hooked by digits 2 – 5
ie: Carrying a Briefcase
![Page 17: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pinch Grasps (Smith, 1985)
Pulp Pinch
Pad of thumb opposes pad of another finger
Pulp Pinch = Compression
Example: Pulp Pinch 2 = Thumb Opposes Index finger
For Small Contact Areas and High Precision
Example: Threading a Needle
![Page 18: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tip Pinch – Tip of thumb
opposes tip of another finger
![Page 19: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gripping Larger Contact Areas and
Applying Greater Force
Lateral Pinch (Key Pinch) – Thumb opposes the radial lateral aspect of the index finger in the clenched fist.
Lateral Pinches Aid Rotation
Chuck Pinch – similar to pulp and tip pinches except the thumb opposes both the index and middle finger simultaneously.
![Page 20: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pinch or Precision Grasps Tools that Require Precision Movements
Surgical Instruments, Pens or Pencils
Small Force
Grip that Facilitates Precise Motions
Fingers and Wrist Play a Prominent Role
![Page 21: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Power Grasps Tools that Require More Muscular Force due to
Use
Weight
Size
Function
Need Larger Surfaces for the Hand to Contact to Form
More of a Power Grip
![Page 22: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ideas for a Better Grip Shape with Bulges and Indents for a better grip
Avoid Cylindrical Grips
Pinch Grips
Provide Contact Surface Area that is as large as the entire surface of the pad of the thumb or fingertips to increase strength
A Pinch Grip is Five Times More Stressful than a Power Grip (National Institute for Safety and Health)
Power Grips
Contact Surface Area large enough to allow contact with the entire palm of the hand
![Page 23: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Better Grip Ideas continued: Eliminate Pressure Points - sharp edges and other
surface features that will cause local tissue pressures.
Padding can be added at Pressure Points of the palm
and fingers
Does the design work for left-handed people?
Size and Shape Gripping Area to Allow Alternatives
to the Standard Grip.
![Page 24: Andrea initial thoughts april 3](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54beaeed4a795902278b457c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Texture or Non-Slip Material
can be added to surfaces to minimize slippage.
