Man from the South Reflection

Assuming the soldier  lost the bet, and had is little finger chopped off, a daily occupation that might be impacted for him would be working on machinery. Without his little finger, the soldier  would not be able to perform opposition  (bring the little finger and thumb together), which is an essential part of fine motor control. Without opposition it would make it difficult to work on his machinery for his job. It would also impact his ability to hold on to things. Grip strength requires the use of all your fingers, and without  the little finger, your grip strength would decrease   significantly . In the soldiers  daily occupations, decreased grip strength could negatively affect his ability  to hold his gun or other weapons. A modification that might help the soldier  participate in his occupations is getting a hand grip with a prosthetic finger. This modification would address an adaption outcome.  retrieved from: https://www.pointde...
