Precision Grip

Grip tool

The precision grip differs from a pinch grip in that a pinch grip is static, while the precision grip is dynamic. When we manipulate objects normally the force acts at right angles. Utilizing a precision grip the force becomes tangent to the path of the apparatus’ direction of motion and is distributed across the contact area rather than focused at a point.

A precision grip requires dexterity and coordination between the thumb and fingers. Practice lifting heavy objects using this grip and learning how to maximize fingertip grip strength and power can be a game changer.
