precision grip
A "precision grip" is a type of hand grip used to hold small objects with accuracy and control. This grip involves the thumb and one or more fingers working together to grasp an item, allowing for fine motor skills. It is commonly used when performing tasks that require careful manipulation, such as writing or picking up small tools.
This grip contrasts with a "power grip," which is used for holding larger objects that require more strength. The precision grip is essential in activities like surgery, crafting, and playing musical instruments, where detailed movements are crucial for success.
