inflammation of tendons and their surrounding sheaths

Precision grip

A

used when an object must be manipulated in a finer type of movement (holding a pen or threading a needle)

105

Cylindrical grip

A

has all the fingers flexed around the object, which usually lies at a right angle to the forearm (holding a hammer, a racquet, or a wheelbarrow handle)

106

has all the fingers and thumb abducted around an object and the fingers are spread apart (holding an apple or a doorknob or picking up a glass by its top)

107
