TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Upper Limb A1 - Ahern, Gerard A1 - Brygel, Maurice PY - 2014 T2 - Exploring Essential Surgery AB - The human upper limb is structured for manipulation of objects in three dimensions. The limb allows for various grasping mechanisms (precision, power, pinch) in distal regions to be combined with spatial movements by the proximal regions. Objects are sensed, held and analyzed or used. They can also be brought to a secondary area (usually the face) for further analysis or use.
