Which description matches the power grip?

• A. Both hands facing forward
• B. Palms facing backward
• C. Fingers interlaced with thumbs up
• D. One hand

Answer: (A)

Power grip means wrapping the fingers around an object with the thumbs opposing to secure a firm hold, using the whole hand for maximum strength. When both hands are facing forward, you can align the wrists and use both arms to generate stable, controlled force for lifting, transferring, or manipulating equipment or patients. This orientation gives the strongest control and reduces stress on the back and shoulders because you can use leg drive and the larger muscle groups. Palms toward the back would reduce grip stability, the described interlaced fingers with thumbs up describes a different grasp not built for a strong wrap around a handle, and using only one hand does not provide the two-handed stability needed for a power grip.
