Abstract

1 . Power and precision grip (Napier 1956) were tested in 154 patients with nerve injuries. 2. The results are described, illustrated and discussed and it is suggested that these tests provide a simple, repeatable and objective method of assessing prehensile function of the hand as a whole.
