Phases of R&G

• Phases of Reach and Grasp:

  1. Transport Phase (reach)
  2. Stabilisation Phase (holding onto it)
  3. Manipulation Phase (moving object) within your hand
  4. Release phase (letting go of it)
• There are 4 main phases but 6 components:

  1. Vision (identification and location of object)
  2. Postural adjustments
  3. Transport Phase (reach)
  4. Stabilisation Phase (grasping and holding onto it)
  5. Manipulation Phase (moving object) within your hand
  6. Release phase (letting go of it)
• Reach and grasp = vision +arm + hand + postural adjustments
